| Obverse description | Central pointed (Gothic) shield bearing the bishop's arms, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in a angular, late-medieval heraldic style. A circular Latin legend runs around the periphery of the coin, separated from the central device by the dotted border. The overall design is characteristic of Baltic ecclesiastical coinage of the early sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A pointed Gothic shield occupies the central field, charged with a crossed sword and key — the heraldic arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat — rendered in angular, hammered relief. The shield is set within a plain inner circle, around which a circular Latin legend is distributed in Gothic lettering. The design adheres closely to the standard typology of Livonian ecclesiastical schillings of the period. |
