| Obverse description | Central field features a bold HE monogram (for Henricus) composed of interlaced letters, struck within a beaded inner circle. Four pattée-style cross terminals extend from the monogram toward the beaded border, lending the design a cruciform character. The surrounding legend, separated by the beaded circle, reads in Latin along the periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, as typical of hammered medieval silver deniers, with moderate die wear visible across the field. |

| Reverse description | A pattée cross occupies the central field, struck within a beaded inner circle that separates it from the surrounding peripheral legend. The arms of the cross are boldly rendered with flared terminals, characteristic of the Viennois coinage style of the mid-eleventh century. The legend, invoking Saint Maurice, patron saint of Vienne, runs around the outer border in capital Latin letters. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular edge and surface texture of hand-hammered medieval coinage, with some weakness in the strike at the periphery. |
