| Obverse description | Stylized bust of the archbishop facing right, rendered in a crude Romanesque manner characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The effigy is depicted within a beaded or dotted border, with a Latin legend surrounding the central device in the field. The lettering is irregularly spaced, consistent with hand-engraved dies of the period. |

| Additional information |
Hartwig II served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1000 to 1023, a period when the archbishopric held considerable autonomous minting authority under the broader framework of Ottoman — then early Salian — imperial governance. Coinage struck under his authority at Salzburg represents some of the earliest firmly attributed episcopal issues from the region, predating the systematic reorganization of Alpine ecclesiastical mints later in the eleventh century.
The CNA attribution places this firmly within Cahn and Noss's foundational typology for early medieval Austrian ecclesiastical coinage — a classification system still used as the baseline reference for this material.
