| Obverse description | Plain cross pattée at center, with each of the four quadrants cantoned by an inward-pointing triangle, creating a distinctive geometric composition. A circular legend surrounds the central cross motif, running along the inner border of the coin. The lettering reads FRIGISINGA ANGIL, identifying the mint of Freising and its patron saint. The overall design is rendered in a bold, flat relief characteristic of Ottonian-Salian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Facing or three-quarter crowned royal bust, depicted schematically in the Romanesque tradition with large stylized eye and simplified facial features typical of early 11th-century German episcopal coinage. The bust is set within the coin field and flanked by foliate or scroll-like decorative elements. A surrounding legend reads CHONRAD REX, identifying King Conrad II as co-authority of the issue. The low relief and irregular flan are consistent with hammered silver deniers of the Salian period. |
