| Obverse description | Central cross dividing the field into four quarters, with the upper two quarters each cantoned by a triangle (chevron-like ornament), an annelet occupying the first quarter, and three bezants arranged in the fourth quarter. The Latin legend HEINICV COMES runs in retrograde around the periphery, identifying the issuing count. The design is executed in the characteristic flat, angular hammered style of early eleventh-century German feudal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylized architectural facade representing a temple or church elevation, with the vertical elements of the columns replaced by the name of the moneyer rendered in Latin capital letters. The structure is depicted in a schematic, linear manner typical of Ottonian-era bracteate-influenced deniers. The surrounding legend reads NAPVRCH CIVITAS CHA, identifying the mint city of Nabburg and its civic status. The overall composition reflects the Carolingian-derived church-facade type common to contemporary Bavarian and Franconian issues. |
