| Description de l’avers |
Crude hammered field depicting a stylized frontal bust or figure, rendered in a highly schematic early medieval manner with linear relief detail. The design is heavily worn and struck on an irregular flan, characteristic of early 11th-century episcopal coinage. The legend OVDALRICVS, referencing Bishop Ulrich I of Chur, appears partially around the periphery. The overall artistic style reflects the primitive yet distinctive die-cutting of the Rhenish episcopal minting tradition. Surface wear and flan irregularities are consistent with normal circulation of this period. |

| Description du revers |
Central design features a stylized Romanesque church or cathedral facade in high relief, with a prominent triangular gabled roof, arched portal, and flanking towers, rendered schematically in the early medieval tradition. The architectural motif is characteristic of episcopal deniers, referencing the cathedral of Chur. The legend CVRIA CIVIT, denoting the city of Chur (Curia), appears around the periphery of the irregular flan. The strike is typical of hammered coinage of the period, with uneven pressure resulting in partial legend legibility. The overall composition is consistent with known issues of the Bishopric of Chur under Ulrich I. |
