| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of Emperor Conrad II in high relief, rendered in a stylized Ottonian manner characteristic of early 11th-century German coinage. The emperor is depicted frontally with a prominent crown adorned with pellets, and a schematic facial rendering with simplified features. The legend KVON REX (King Conrad) is distributed around the bust in the field, with letters in a somewhat irregular arrangement typical of hammered issues from this period. The coin's irregular flan and bold relief are consistent with the hand-struck technique of the Augsburg mint. A beaded border encircles the design. |

| Additional information |
Conrad II came to power in 1024 as the first Salian emperor, ending the Ottonian dynasty after a contested election among the German princes. The Augsburg mint was among the more active imperial mints of his reign, operating under close episcopal oversight — the Bishop of Augsburg held minting rights that Conrad had to navigate carefully rather than simply command.
The Hahn Radas classification places this among a well-documented but still genuinely scarce group of Salian deniers.
