| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver. Central field features a crossed sword and key arranged diagonally, with the sword pointing to the left and the key oriented to the upper right, forming a saltire-like composition. The devices are rendered in low relief in a bold, archaic style characteristic of medieval Baltic ecclesiastical coinage. The design is encircled by a ring of pellets, the border partially irregular due to the uneven flan. |
