| Obverse description | Central field features a cross pattée with a small annulet at the centre and pellets in each angle, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend in majuscule characters surrounds the inner circle, set between two linear borders. The overall style is characteristic of Ottonian-period Saxon coinage, with bold, somewhat crude lettering typical of hammered deniers of the late 10th to early 11th century. |

| Reverse description | Central design displays a cross with splayed arms, enclosed within a beaded or toothed inner circle, with the arms extending to touch or nearly touch the inner border, creating a bold geometric effect. The surrounding field bears a Latin legend in majuscule letters between two linear borders. The striking is characteristically irregular, with some flatness and die wear consistent with anonymous Ottonian Saxon pfennigs of the circa 1000 period. |
