| Obverse description | Central cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters, each containing a pellet at the angle. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads the imperial name and title. The coin exhibits the characteristic crude hammered fabric of early 11th-century Rhenish ecclesiastical coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan and lightly beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Schematic architectural motif depicting a cathedral or church facade with a triangular gabled roof and flanking towers or columns, with pellets adorning the sides. Abbreviated lettering identifying the issuing archbishop and the mint city of Cologne is distributed around and within the architectural device. The design reflects the Ottonian-Salian ecclesiastical minting tradition, with bold but simplified architectural rendering typical of Cologne deniers of this period. |
