| Obverse description | Single-sided hammered denier (bracteate-type uniface issue) struck in crude style characteristic of early Piast coinage. The obverse displays a stylized bust in profile facing right, rendered in a highly schematic manner within a linear inner circle. Surrounding the central effigy, a partial Latin legend reads +BOL (for Boleslaus), arranged around the upper field. The lettering is irregularly spaced and deeply impressed, reflecting primitive die-cutting technique of the early eleventh century. The flan is irregular in shape with uneven edges typical of hand-cut medieval blanks. |
