| Reverse description | Central design features a stylised church facade or architectural motif, rendered as a triangular pediment above a horizontal bar supported by vertical elements, evoking a schematic representation of a cathedral or episcopal building. Below the architectural device, the legend OHO is displayed prominently across the central field, flanked by additional letterforms. The surrounding marginal legend is distributed around the coin in a loose circular arrangement, reading partially as HVNCE and related letters, separated by cross stops. The crude execution and variable letter spacing are characteristic of hammered episcopal deniers struck at Salzburg under Archbishop Hartwig I. |

| Additional information |
Hartwig I served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1018 to 1023, a tenure cut short by his deposition — he was removed from office by Holy Roman Emperor Henry II following a prolonged dispute over ecclesiastical authority and imperial prerogative. The brevity of his reign makes coinage struck under his authority genuinely scarce, and the Hahn Radas classification reflects how thinly these issues survive across institutional collections.
