| Obverse description | Central shield with a curved (rounded) top bearing a stylized architectural or heraldic charge — depicting the towers or tracery of the Dorpat episcopal arms — within a beaded inner circle. The shield is flanked below by a flat-topped base element, giving the composition a distinctive Gothic heraldic character. A Latin legend encircles the design between the beaded inner border and the outer rim, reading the bishop's abbreviated title and regnal dates. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a sword and a key are crossed saltire-wise in the center of the field — the sword pointing upper right and the key pointing upper left — representing the arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat. A Latin circular legend surrounds the inner beaded border, proclaiming the coin's monetary authority, with the legend extending between the inner beaded ring and the toothed outer rim. The overall style is characteristic of late medieval Baltic hammered billon coinage. |
