| Obverse lettering | + HEINRICVS IMP (Translation: Emperor Henry.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents the mint-name inscription COLONIA arranged in two lines across the central field, with SCA (Sancta) preceding the city name, all contained within a beaded inner circle. Crescent or lunette ornaments are disposed around the inscription in the field, lending the design a decorative quality characteristic of Rhenish Imperial deniers of the early 11th century. An outer toothed or beaded border frames the design, and the flan is notably broad and irregular at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. The bold, square-cut lettering is clearly legible despite the worn surfaces. |
