| Obverse description | Central inner circle enclosing a cross pattée, surrounded by a beaded inner ring. The circular legend +BVRCHARD DVX is distributed around the inner ring within the field, composed of large, somewhat irregular capital letters characteristic of Ottonian hammered coinage. The outer border is formed by a beaded or pearled ring. The overall design follows the typical Carolingian-derived denier format adapted by the Swabian ducal authority. |

| Reverse description | A long cross extending to the inner border divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a pellet or small ornamental element. The inscription OTTO PRI SACH is distributed in the quadrants formed by the cross, referencing Otto I as co-authority and the mint of Breisach. The lettering is bold and angular, consistent with mid-tenth century Rhenish hammered silver coinage. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
