| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized open right hand (dextera Domini, the Hand of God) rendered in bold relief, with fingers spread upward and flanked by curved lateral elements suggestive of a crescent or arch motif. The design is executed in the broad, flat style characteristic of late Salian-era episcopal coinage. A partial Latin legend reading DEXTERA DNI (Dextera Domini, 'Right Hand of the Lord') runs along the circumference. The flan is irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered silver pfennigs of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central monogram composed of interlaced letters, appearing to form an elaborate Christogram or episcopal cipher set within a lozenge-shaped central element, with four extending arms terminating in pellets or cross-bars in the manner of a cross. Small pellets are visible in the upper field flanking the monogram. The overall design is consistent with the anonymous episcopal bracteate-related pfennig tradition of the Würzburg mint under the late 11th- to early 12th-century bishop. The flan edges are irregular and slightly clipped, as expected for hammered coinage of this era. |
