| Obverse description | Central cross cantoned by two pellets (bezants) and an annulet arranged in the quarters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend reading HEINRICVS DVX runs around the periphery of the flan, separated from the central motif by the inner border. The hammered fabric is irregular, typical of late tenth-century Bavarian coinage, with slightly uneven strike and flan edges. |

| Reverse description | A two-tiered tetrastyle church facade (temple-like structure) rendered in a schematic, flat style characteristic of Ottonian-era ecclesiastical architecture types, with a triangular pediment above two stepped horizontal base lines. The moneyer's name or workshop abbreviation appears within the architectural frame, while the surrounding Latin legend AVGVSTA CIVS encircles the design within a beaded border, identifying the mint city of Augsburg (Augusta Vindelicorum). The overall design reflects the standard Augsburg episcopal mint conventions of the late tenth century. |
