| Obverse description | A rampant lion facing left occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, archaic Romanesque style with stylized mane and forelegs raised. The creature's body is compact and vigorous, characteristic of episcopal coinage of the early 13th century. The design is contained within a beaded border running along the coin's irregular circumference. No legend is present. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered medieval bracteate-related pfennig production. |

| Reverse description | A frontal eagle with spread wings is depicted in the central field, its head turned and rendered with schematic feathering across the body and wings. The eagle stands with talons visible at the base, presented in a flat, stylized Romanesque manner typical of 13th-century German episcopal coinage. The wings are extended symmetrically to either side, with individual feather groups indicated by incised lines. No legend accompanies the design. The field is plain within a beaded border. |
