| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in full liturgical vestments, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner, set within a quatrefoil border. The figure holds a lily-headed sceptre in each hand, raised to either side. The face is schematically depicted with a prominent mitre or crown-like headpiece above. The field shows no legend, with decorative elements filling the spaces between the lobes of the quatrefoil. |

| Reverse description | A heraldic eagle displayed, shown in profile facing left with wings spread and detailed feathering rendered in punched or chased relief. The bird stands with talons visible and tail feathers spread downward, occupying the full field of the coin. The design is executed in a bold Romanesque style typical of early 13th-century German bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage, with no surrounding legend. |
