| Obverse description | Crude stylized royal bust facing right, set within a beaded inner circle. The effigy is rendered in the primitive Ottonian hammered style characteristic of late 10th-century Rhenish coinage, with schematic facial features and no drapery detail. The surrounding field bears the royal legend. Small decorative elements appear in the angles of the outer field. |

| Reverse description | Three-line central inscription arranged horizontally across the field, divided by two horizontal lines forming a tablet-like structure, referencing the Christian religion. The central inscription is enclosed within a circular border and surrounded by a peripheral legend naming the Andernach mint. The lettering is characteristically irregular and somewhat degenerate, typical of hammered deniers of this period and mint. |
