| Reverse description | A short voided cross centered within a beaded inner circle, with two small rings or annulets placed in opposing angles of the cross, a motif typical of Salzburg episcopal deniers of the early 11th century. A Latin legend encircles the inner circle, running along the outer border of the coin. The design is executed in the hammered style, with characteristic irregularity in die alignment and flan shape. |

| Additional information |
Hartwig II served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1000 to 1023, a period when the archbishopric held considerable autonomous minting authority under the broader framework of Ottoman — then early Salian — imperial governance. Coinage struck under his authority at Salzburg represents some of the earliest firmly attributed episcopal issues from the region, predating the systematic reorganization of Alpine ecclesiastical mints later in the eleventh century.
The CNA attribution places this firmly within Cahn and Noss's foundational typology for early medieval Austrian ecclesiastical coinage — a classification system still used as the baseline reference for this material.
