| Obverse description | Hammered silver denier of irregular flan. Central device features a bold cross pattée within a plain inner circle, the arms of the cross extending toward the beaded border. The surrounding circular legend reads HEINRICVS, introduced by a cross pommée, with the letters distributed evenly around the field in a somewhat uneven, hand-struck manner characteristic of 11th-century feudal coinage. The overall style is archaic, with flat relief and a rough, irregular edge typical of early medieval hammered issues. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse of irregular flan displaying a prominent capital letter S in the center of a plain inner circle, rendered in bold raised relief. The S is the principal charge, serving as a monogram or initial mark associated with the Lyon mint. A circular legend reading LVCDVNVS surrounds the inner circle, introduced by a cross pommée, with letters distributed around the beaded border in the characteristic rough style of mid-11th-century feudal hammered coinage. The flan shows typical surface irregularities and slight weakness of strike consistent with the period. |
