Dacian coin of the Mit Bartkranzavers / Toc-Chereluș type is held by Tarii Crisurilor Museum. Museum description: obverse: Stylized human head, in profile, facing right.

The only recognizable elements are the contour of the face rendered by a wide line and the eye represented by a pellet placed inside a rhomboidal border. Above the eye, from the level of the forehead to the level of the ear, appears a ladder-shaped ornament, supported by another in the shape of the letter S, arranged obliquely and having a pellet in the upper loop; obverse: from the other loop starts a row of pellets following the undulation of the coil.

Parallel to the line of the nose appears a branched ornament, formed of arched lines – often defined as a "lock of hair" –, descending from the level of the spiral to the middle of the nose, where it intersects an oblique line and stops. The lips are sketched by two parallel, thickened lines, placed freely in the depression between the nose and chin. In front of the nose and lips a quadrilateral is rendered with sides slightly The museum record gives measurements diameter: 27.3x28.1; mass: 8.15.

These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
