| Obverse description | Facing bust of a crowned ducal figure depicted in frontal effigy, holding an upright sword in the right hand and a lily scepter in the left, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The portrait is rendered in the primitive Romanesque hammered style characteristic of early 13th-century Bavarian ecclesiastical coinage. The irregular flan displays typical characteristics of hand-struck medieval bracteate-influenced pfennig production. |

| Reverse description | Frontal seated effigy of Saint Peter enthroned, holding a fish in one hand and a key in the other, depicted within a plain line circle with a decorative rosette border. The figure of the apostle is rendered in the schematic Romanesque style typical of Regensburg episcopal coinage of the early 13th century. The design reflects the prominent veneration of Saint Peter as patron of Regensburg Cathedral. |
