| Obverse description | Facing bust of a bishop or ecclesiastical figure in high relief, rendered in the crude Romanesque style typical of 11th-century German hammered coinage. The face is broad and stylized, with a prominent nose and dot-punched eyes, surmounted by a mitre or crown. Vestiges of a circular Latin legend surround the central effigy, partially legible due to the irregular flan. The overall design is characteristic of Salzburg episcopal deniers of the mid-11th century. |

| Reverse description | Central motif depicting a schematic architectural or figural device in shallow relief, consistent with the Romanesque die-cutting conventions of mid-11th-century Salzburg. The design field shows a stylized seated or standing figure, heavily abstracted, surrounded by a partial circular Latin legend invoking the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, as is characteristic of hammered pfennigs of this period and region. |
