| Obverse description | Frontal crowned bust of a ruler occupying the central field, depicted in a highly stylized, archaic manner characteristic of late 14th-century Lithuanian coinage. The crowned head is shown face-on with flowing hair rendered as parallel vertical lines flanking the face, surmounted by a simple crown with fleur-de-lis-style points. The facial features are rendered in low relief with a central pellet at the forehead. The design is executed in the crude hammered style typical of early Lithuanian deniers, with no surrounding legend visible on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly stylized and schematically rendered heraldic composition in low relief. The upper portion features a latticed or cross-hatched rectangular panel, likely a highly abstracted representation of a gate or architectural element, possibly derived from the Columns of Gediminas dynastic symbol. Below this panel, a roughly modeled quadruped, possibly a bear or ox, is depicted in profile facing left. The overall execution is characteristic of the crude hammered technique employed at the Vilnius Mint during this early period of Lithuanian coinage. |
