| Obverse description | Central plain cross enclosed within a small pearled circle, set against an unadorned field. Short radial strokes or pellets are distributed around the field outside the inner circle, suggesting a decorative arrangement typical of early medieval episcopal coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | A prominent triangle with a pellet placed at each of its three corners, enclosed within a pearled inner circle. An additional pellet occupies the interior of the triangle. Partial lettering, reading OE..., appears in the surrounding field, likely representing a fragmentary legend associated with the bishop's name or title. The overall design is characteristic of Ottonian-era episcopal deniers from the Upper Rhine region. |
