| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of the anti-king Hermann of Salm, depicted frontally in a schematic Ottonian-Salian style characteristic of late 11th-century German pfennigs. The effigy is flanked on either side by a crossed staff and a scepter surmounted by a lily finial, symbols of royal authority. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central design within the coin's irregularly hammered flan. |

| Reverse description | Schematic representation of the city of Goslar rendered in a flat, stylized architectural form typical of late 11th-century German coinage, with towers or building elements suggesting a city gate or fortified structure. The design is enclosed within a circular Latin legend identifying the mint city. The overall execution reflects the crude yet distinctive hammered technique of the period. |
