Obverse description Frontal bust of a bishop depicted in schematic, stylized fashion characteristic of medieval German bracteate-influenced coinage, wearing a mitre and holding a crosier; the figure is rendered in low relief with simplified facial features consisting of circular punched dots for the eyes and mouth. Foliate or wing-like elements flank the bishop on either side, likely representing decorative architectural framing. The overall design is executed in the crude but vigorous hammered style typical of 13th–14th century Bavarian ecclesiastical pfennige, with no visible legend on this face.

Reverse description The reverse displays a worn and lightly struck design typical of a bracteate or thin hammered pfennig, showing what appears to be a seated or enthroned figure rendered in low, crude relief. The design exhibits considerable flatness and strike weakness across the field, consistent with the thin flan and variable die alignment characteristic of Regensburg episcopal pfennige of the late 13th to mid-14th century. Decorative elements are visible at the upper portion of the flan. No inscription or legend is discernible on this face.
