| Obverse description | Stylized, schematic depiction of a church or chapel facade rendered in crude relief, enclosed within a beaded inner circle and a plain outer border. A prominent cross occupies the center of the architectural motif, with the overall design characteristic of the Ottonian-Salian coinage tradition. The architectural elements, including what appear to be towers or nave outlines, are rendered in a highly abstract manner typical of early 11th-century Saxon ecclesiastical deniers. A fragmentary legend runs along the periphery of the coin, largely illegible due to the irregular flan and die wear. |

| Reverse description | A bold Maltese-style cross with splayed arms occupies the center of the field, set within a beaded inner circle surrounded by a plain outer ring. A small pellet is visible in one quarter of the cross, a characteristic diagnostic detail for this type. The peripheral legend, partially visible around the outer border, is largely illegible due to the worn and irregular flan. The overall style is consistent with hammered Saxon coinage of the early 11th century, with crisp central devices contrasting with a poorly preserved inscription. |
