| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Duke Bernard I facing left, set within a inner beaded circle. The effigy is rendered in a crude, stylized manner characteristic of Ottonian-era hammered coinage. The Latin legend BERNARDVS DVX runs around the periphery of the coin, partially visible between the inner circle and the irregular outer edge. |

| Reverse description | A small, bold Greek-style cross with pattée terminals occupies the central field within a raised inner circle, typical of Ottonian denier coinage. The cross arms are of equal length and slightly splayed at their ends. The Latin legend MVNDBVRVC, referencing the mint place of Mundburg, is distributed around the periphery between the inner circle and the coin's irregular hammered edge. |
