| Obverse description | Central cross with a pellet or bezant at the center, flanked by four bezants in each angle of the cross, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle (grenetis). A continuous Latin legend encircles the design in the outer field, reading the name and title of Duke Berthold. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-10th-century Carolingian-derived coinage from the Duchy of Bavaria. |

| Reverse description | A schematic tetrastyle temple rendered across two registers, its triangular pediment supported by columns, incorporating the moneyer's name within the architectural framework. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the design in the outer field, identifying the mint city of Regensburg (Regina Civitas). The highly stylized, almost abstract rendering of the temple motif is typical of early medieval Germanic ecclesiastical coinage influenced by Carolingian prototypes. |
