| Obverse description | Central cross pattée surrounded by four pellets (bezants) in the angles, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend, rendered in Latin majuscules, reads around the outer field. The design is bold and stylized, characteristic of Ottonian hammered coinage, with a pronounced beaded (grenetis) border framing the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | Stylized architectural facade rendered in the Carolingian-Ottonian tradition, depicting a two-tiered temple or church building with the name of the moneyer integrated into the design in place of columns. The structure is shown frontally with schematic detailing. A Latin legend encircles the design referencing the royal city (civitas regia) of Regensburg (Ratisbon), within a beaded border. |
