| Obverse description | Frontal crowned bust of Emperor Henry III depicted within a beaded inner circle, the crown rendered with prominent horizontal bars and vertical finials in a stylised Ottonian-Salian manner. The facial features are schematically rendered, with a broad chin lappet visible below. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust between the beaded circle and the irregular coin edge, though heavily worn and partially off-flan on this example. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Romanesque church or temple facade depicted in frontal elevation, with a triangular pediment surmounted by a small central finial and supported by two flanking columns framing three arched portals, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The architectural rendering is characteristic of mid-11th-century Salian bracteate-related coinage, conveying the collegiate church of Stade. A partial Latin legend referencing the mint town of Stade surrounds the central device between the beaded circle and the coin's irregular periphery. |
