| Obverse description | Curvilinear Gothic shield bearing an episcopal monogram or initial device occupies the central field, struck in the hammered tradition of Livonian billon coinage. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend in uncial letterforms surrounds the design along the coin's periphery, identifying the issuing bishop. The style is characteristic of late medieval ecclesiastical minting practice in the Baltic region. |

| Reverse description | Curvilinear Gothic shield in the central field displays the episcopal arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat: a sword oriented to the right and a key descending to the left, arranged in saltire. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend in uncial letterforms runs along the periphery, identifying the piece as a new monetary issue of Dorpat. The composition follows the established conventions of Livonian ecclesiastical coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
