| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a retrograde or irregularly arranged Latin legend distributed across the entire coin surface in multiple lines, without a clearly defined central device. The inscription, rendered in archaic Carolingian letterforms, fills the flan in a manner typical of early medieval episcopal deniers. The overall design reflects the rudimentary die-cutting style of mid-11th-century Rhenish ecclesiastical coinage, with letters arranged in a roughly grid-like pattern across the field. |

| Reverse description | Plain or minimally decorated reverse surface consistent with hammered single-die or two-die striking technique common to 11th-century episcopal deniers of the Upper Rhine region. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the hand-cut planchet preparation typical of this period. No distinct central motif is discernible, and the surface shows characteristic die-flow lines and flatness associated with primitive hammered coinage of the Bishopric of Basel. |
