| Obverse description | Elaborate baroque achievement of arms displaying a four-fold quartered shield surmounted by three ornate helmets with mantling and crests, the central crest prominently featuring a crowned figure. The date is divided on either side of the arms. The encircling Latin legend reads in abbreviated form around the periphery, identifying the issuing bishop. The overall design is rendered in high-relief baroque style typical of early eighteenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | Half-length frontal figure of Saint Kilian, patron saint of Würzburg, robed in episcopal vestments and holding a crozier in his right hand and a sword in his left. A small escutcheon bearing the denomination numeral (4) appears in the lower field below the figure. The saint's image is framed by a continuous Latin legend around the coin's periphery identifying him by name, consistent with the devotional iconographic tradition of Franconian ecclesiastical coinage. |
