| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Duke Bernard I facing left, rendered in a schematic early medieval style typical of Ottonian coinage. The effigy is set within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding field showing the ducal legend. The portrait displays characteristic crude but expressive workmanship of the period, with visible diadem detail above the brow. |

| Reverse description | A bold plain cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, each canton bearing one letter of the name ODDO, referencing King Otto III as co-issuing authority. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, and the circumferential legend surrounds the entire design. The layout follows the standard Ottonian denier type, with the royal name distributed symmetrically around the arms of the cross. |
