| Opis awersu |
Frontal bust of the Archbishop rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner, depicted with elongated facial features characteristic of 12th-century ecclesiastical coinage. Annular ring ornaments are disposed in the field above the effigy in lieu of the spheres more commonly encountered on related types. The bust is centrally positioned within the flan, with no surrounding legend. |

| Opis rewersu |
A bold pattée-style cross divides the field into four quarters, each canton charged with a single raised sphere or pellet, giving a strong symmetrical composition typical of Salzburg bracteate-related pfennig coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted inner circle, itself surrounded by the irregular beaded edge of the hammered flan. No legend is present. |

Eberhard I served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1147 to 1164, a tenure defined largely by his loyalty to Frederick Barbarossa during the early years of Barbarossa's imperial consolidation. The Aquileia attribution in the type name reflects the stylistic and monetary influence radiating from the Patriarchate of Aquileia into the Alpine mint network during this period — Salzburg's pfennig coinage absorbed and reinterpreted those southern influences rather than simply copying them.
CNA Cs2 is among the earlier documented bracteate-adjacent pfennig types from the Salzburg archiepiscopal series, predating the fuller adoption of thin bracteate fabric that would dominate the region later in the century.
