| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in high relief, wearing a mitre and vestments, flanked by two smaller figures or supporters on either side. The central figure appears enthroned or standing, rendered in the schematic, flat-relief style characteristic of late 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. A globular or rounded element is visible at the base of the composition. The design occupies the full field within a raised beaded or plain inner border, with no legible legend. |

| Reverse description | Incuse mirror image of the obverse type, as is typical of thin hammered silver pfennigs of this period produced with a single-die striking technique. The reverse shows the corresponding sunken impression of the bishop's bust and flanking figures, with surface detail significantly flattened. A partial circular inner border is discernible around the incuse design field. |
