| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the monogram of Arduin rendered in interlaced letters, formed from the elements of the name ARDO in a stylized Carolingian monogram typical of early medieval Italian coinage. Small cross pattée visible above the monogram. The surrounding field bears a circular Latin legend, the whole struck on an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The mint name PAPIA (Pavia) arranged in three horizontal lines across the field, with letters distributed in the manner characteristic of early eleventh-century north Italian deniers. A large bold cross divides or frames the field, with globules or annulets in the quarters. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads IMDERATOR, identifying the ruler's imperial title, struck on an irregularly shaped hammered silver flan. |
