| Obverse description | Stylized architectural facade depicting a church with three towers rendered in a flat, schematic manner characteristic of Ottonian-Salian ecclesiastical coinage. The central tower rises above a rounded apse or nave, flanked by two lateral towers, all with pitched roofs surmounted by small finials. The structure is delineated with bold raised lines, with columns suggested at the base of each tower. The composition fills the flan, with the partial legend LVDIGHV[...] visible around the periphery in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross centered in the field, with one large globule (bezant) placed in each of the four angles formed by the arms of the cross, giving the characteristic arrangement of four bezants. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle (grenetis), with the Latin legend +ODDO IDIIIID running around the circumference. The execution is typical of anonymous Rhenish-Westphalian deniers of the late 11th to early 12th century, with bold, slightly irregular lettering. |
