| Obverse description | Central field features an ornate crowned cipher composed of two interlaced letters, representing the monogram of Bishop Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, surmounted by an episcopal or princely crown. The monogram is set within a decorative cartouche or wreath of baroque scrollwork and foliate ornament. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery of the coin, partially legible due to wear. The overall style is characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage, with bold relief and baroque artistic sensibility. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large crowned cartouche enclosing the fractional denomination expressed as '1/2' over the letter 'K' (for Kreuzer), surmounted by a small crown above the numeral. The cartouche is framed by elaborate baroque scrollwork with foliate and shell motifs. The date '1762' is divided and placed to either side of the central device, with '17' and '62' appearing in the respective fields. A toothed or milled border runs around the entire reverse, providing a decorative frame consistent with milled coinage of the period. |
