| Obverse description | Three heraldic shields arranged in a trefoil configuration dominate the obverse field, each bearing the arms associated with the see of Speyer and the personal arms of Bishop August Philip Charles of Limburg-Gehmen-Styrum. A princely crown surmounts the central grouping, emphasizing the bishop's secular authority as Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The circular Latin legend runs along the outer border, identifying the issuer by name and ecclesiastical title. The milled coin presents a finely engraved baroque composition typical of late 18th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central lozenge-shaped cartouche bearing the fractional denomination and fineness inscription '240 EIN FEIN MARK', indicating that 240 such coins were struck from one mark of fine silver. The date 1772 appears within the cartouche below the fineness statement. The legend 'AD NORMAM CONVENTUS IUSTIRT' encircles the design in the outer border, referencing the monetary convention standards to which this issue conforms. Small decorative floral or foliate ornaments punctuate the legend at intervals, consistent with the refined engraving style of contemporary South German ecclesiastical mints. |
