| Obverse description | Elaborate quartered episcopal coat of arms of the Bishopric of Bamberg, supported by decorative mantling and surmounted by a bishop's mitre topped with a cross, all within a toothed or reeded border. The arms display the characteristic heraldic divisions associated with the See of Bamberg and the personal arms of Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim. The circumferential legend in Latin reads around the full perimeter of the field. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing a small patriarchal cross at the top center, beneath which seven lines of Latin text record the biographical data of Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim: his birth date, election to the See of Würzburg, subsequent elevation to the See of Bamberg, date of death, and age at death expressed in years and days. The inscription is set within a toothed or reeded border matching the obverse, with no additional decorative elements, giving the reverse a stark memorial character typical of Sterbegroschen issues. |
