| Reverse description | A stylized tetrastyle temple or church facade is depicted in the center, rendered in the flat, schematic manner typical of Ottonian-era ecclesiastical coinage, with three bezants or pellets arranged in a heart-shaped or triangular grouping within the pediment. The structure rests on a stepped base and is surmounted by a cross finial. The legend of the patron saint encircles the design within a beaded border, affirming the religious patronage of the Salzburg mint. |

| Additional information |
Dietmar II served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1025 until his death in 1041, a tenure marked by close alignment with the Salian imperial court under Conrad II. The Salzburg archbishopric held minting rights as part of its broader temporal authority over the region, and deniers of this period reflect the halting standardization of coinage across the German duchies under early Salian rule.
Hahn's classification of this type within the Radas series remains the authoritative reference for Salzburg episcopal coinage of the eleventh century.
