| Obverse description | Facing bearded effigy of Duke Bernard II, rendered in the crude Ottonian style typical of early 11th-century Saxon coinage. The face is depicted frontally with stylized beard and hair, the features executed in bold low relief with pronounced linear detailing. The legend BERNHARDVS runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuing authority. The overall design reflects the artistic conventions of the Saxon mint tradition of the period. |

| Reverse description | A stylized church or chapel facade rendered as a schematic architectural motif, depicted as a building with a central tower or banner surmounted by a cross, flanked by vertical columns, all enclosed within a beaded or dotted border. The design is characteristic of the ecclesiastical reverse types common to Saxon deniers of the early medieval period. The legend +GEFRI DENARI surrounds the central device, referencing the mint place Jever. The execution is bold but crude, consistent with hammered coinage of the Ottonian era. |
