| Obverse description | Facing bust of the Virgin Mary (Santa Maria) depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner, enclosed within a beaded or dotted inner circle. The effigy is rendered in a frontal position with rudimentary facial features characteristic of 11th-century episcopal coinage. The legend SCA MARIA runs around the periphery of the coin in Latin script. The design is typical of the devotional imagery employed on episcopal issues of the Salian period, with the field showing the rough, irregular surface inherent to hammered manufacture. |

| Reverse description | Stylized architectural motif, likely representing a church facade or portal with a prominent arched structure, rendered in the schematic Romanesque style characteristic of 11th-century German episcopal coinage. The design features a central arch or tower element with flanking details, surrounded by a beaded border. The peripheral legend reads +WERNERVS EP, identifying the issuing bishop Werner (II d'Achalm, Bishop of Strasbourg, 1065–1077). The overall composition is bold and diagrammatic, consistent with hammered deniers of the Salian era. |
