The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle within the outer beaded border, rendered in bold, somewhat irregular hammered lettering characteristic of early medieval Bavarian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylized schematic representation of a church or cathedral facade, depicted with a triangular gabled roof surmounted by a small cross, above a horizontal bar suggesting the nave. The inscription ECCO is set prominently within the architectural design, flanked by decorative elements. The entire motif is enclosed within a beaded circle, with additional letters or ornamental characters visible in the outer border, all executed in the bold, naive style typical of Ottonian-era hammered silver coinage. |
