| Obverse description | Crude hammered silver denier depicting a frontal or slightly turned bust of Emperor Henry IV, shown facing left within the field, rendered in the rough, stylised manner typical of late Salian imperial coinage. The figure is presented in regal attire with schematic facial features and body details characteristic of Ottonian-Salian die-cutting. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery of the coin, partially obscured by the irregular flan. The overall style reflects the primitive artistic conventions of eleventh-century German ecclesiastical and imperial minting. |
