| Obverse description | Crude facing bust of Duke Theodoric I at center, depicted within a beaded inner circle, the face rendered in a schematic early medieval style with minimal detail. The bust appears bare-headed or lightly crowned, with the portrait occupying the majority of the central field. Surrounding the inner circle, the Latin legend reads: ✠ THEODERICVS DVX, with a cross pattée at the start of the inscription. The outer border consists of a continuous beaded ring following the coin's irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Schematic architectural representation of a fortified gateway or city gate of Andernach, depicted frontally with a central arched portal flanked by two towers, rendered in the characteristic simplified Ottonian hammered style. The structure fills the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The Latin mint legend ✠ ANDERNAEA surrounds the architectural motif within the outer beaded border, identifying the Andernach mint. The overall composition is typical of Rhenish deniers of the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. |
