| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of Hermann I of Winzenburg, depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner holding a spear in one hand and a scepter in the other. The effigy is rendered in high relief typical of early 12th-century hammered coinage, with the regalia emphasizing the count's temporal authority. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust within the coin's irregular flan. The inscription +ICIEMANNIVS appears around the periphery, identifying the issuing lord. |

| Reverse description | Two facing busts of the Apostles Simon and Judas shown side by side in a paired portrait composition, surmounted by a cross rising between them. The effigies are rendered in the flat, stylized Romanesque tradition characteristic of 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The abbreviated Latin legend SS SIMON IVD appears in the field, identifying the two apostles. The design reflects a devotional iconographic program common to German episcopal and comital deniers of the period. |
