| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a stylised Carolingian monogram composed of the letter H, formed by interlocking strokes characteristic of imperial monogram coinage. The monogram is set within a beaded inner circle, with the legend IMPERATOR disposed around it in Roman capitals. The overall design reflects the Ottonian-Salian hammered coinage tradition of the Italian imperial mints, with letters of varying regularity due to hand-striking. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint name LVCA arranged across the field, divided by a central vertical stroke or cross element, with the legend + ENRICVS disposed around the periphery within a beaded border. The lettering is in bold, somewhat irregular Roman capitals typical of medieval hammered billon coinage. The design identifies both the issuing authority and the place of minting, conforming to the standard Lucchese denier type struck under the Salian emperors. |
