| Obverse description | Facing or left-turned crowned and bearded royal effigy, rendered in crude, stylized relief typical of 11th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The crown is depicted with prominent points or fleurons above the head, and the facial features are boldly but simply rendered. The portrait is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the broad, irregular flan characteristic of hammered medieval deniers. No legible inscription is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Stylized urban architectural motif depicting a walled city or fortified enclosure, with four prominent towers at the corners and a crenellated wall between them, rendered in schematic relief. A plain cross surmounts the central gate or archway, and the overall design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The composition is characteristic of Ottonian and early Salian episcopal coinage from the archbishopric of Magdeburg, evoking the heavenly or earthly city as a symbol of ecclesiastical authority. No inscription is present. |
