| Obverse description | Central cross pattée enclosed within a plain inner circle, with a ring, two pellets, and a wedge ornament distributed in the four quarters. The surrounding legend HENRICVS DVX runs in retrograde Latin along the outer border, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge. The overall design is characteristic of Ottonian-era Bavarian coinage, with bold, roughly struck lettering typical of late 10th-century hammered silver. |

| Reverse description | A stylized church or cathedral facade rendered in a highly schematic manner, consisting of a prominent triangular gable above a multi-line architectural body with lateral elements suggesting towers or walls. Portions of the legend REGINA CIVITAS WICI are distributed around and within the architectural motif, identifying the issuing city. The design is characteristic of the Regensburg (Regina Civitas) mint, with the church type a hallmark of Ottonian ecclesiastical coinage. |
