| Aversbeschreibung | Facing bust of a bishop wearing a mitra, rendered in a flat, stylized manner characteristic of 13th-century Germanic bracteate-influenced coinage. Surmounting the bust is a three-towered fortified building or city gate, depicted frontally with crenellated battlements and a central arched portal flanked by two towers. The design fills the flan with no legend or border inscription. The composition alludes to the episcopal authority and the fortified city of Passau. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A lindwurm (wyvern or dragon) depicted in profile facing left, rendered in a boldly stylized manner with a serpentine body, outstretched wings, and a curling tail. The creature's open-jawed head and scaled body are characteristic of Bavarian heraldic dragon imagery of the mid-13th century. The design is contained within the irregular round flan with no surrounding legend or border inscription. The lindwurm serves as a traditional heraldic symbol associated with the region of Passau. |

Passau sat at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers, making it one of the most commercially active episcopal territories in the Holy Roman Empire. Bishops of Passau held the right of coinage as a tool of economic control over that traffic, not merely as a mark of prestige. The joint attribution to Berthold of Pietengau and Otto of Lonsdorf reflects a brief administrative overlap during the episcopate transition of the early 1250s — a period when rival claims to the see created documentary confusion that carries through into the numismatic record.
