| Obverse description | Schematic princely tamga rendered as a stylized depiction of a church or temple facade, centrally positioned in the field. The device is surrounded by a border of dots and star-shaped ornaments distributed around the periphery. The design is executed in a crude, informal style characteristic of late 14th-century Rus hammered coinage. The irregular flan shows typical characteristics of hand-struck medieval silver. |

| Reverse description | A bold equilateral Greek cross occupies the central field, with arms of equal length extending nearly to the coin's edge. The Cyrillic votive legend Б҃Е ПОСОБИ (God Help) is distributed around the cross in the field, with letters separated by the cross arms. The inscription is rendered in archaic Cyrillic characters typical of late 14th-century Kyivan coinage. The overall composition is consistent with anonymous issues of the Principality of Kyiv during the period 1396–1399. |
