| Obverse description | Central cross pattée enclosed within a beaded inner circle, the four angles of the cross each cantoned by small pellets (bezants), with three bezants visible in the surviving arrangement. A continuous Latin legend reading ARNVLFVS DVX surrounds the central design within a beaded outer border, the lettering exhibiting the characteristic angular uncial forms typical of Carolingian-era Bavarian coinage. The strike is irregular, as expected of hammered silver of this period, with some weakness at the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A stylised two-tiered temple or church facade rendered in the Carolingian architectural tradition, comprising a triangular pediment surmounting a rectangular portico supported by columns, with a central pellet in the pediment. The moneyer's name and the mint city legend IWAVO CIVITAS AM (referring to the mint of Salzburg, ancient Iuvavum) are distributed around the edifice within a beaded border. The lettering is bold and angular, consistent with Bavarian Carolingian deniers of the early tenth century, with some crowding and irregularity attributable to the hammered technique. |
