| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop or archbishop in high relief, depicted wearing a mitre and episcopal vestments with decorative detail at the collar. The figure is flanked on either side by a tall column or pillar, framing the effigy symmetrically within the field. A beaded inner circle surrounds the central design, itself enclosed by a plain border following the irregular flan edge. The overall style is characteristic of Friesach-type coinage, with bold, somewhat schematic rendering of the ecclesiastical figure typical of mid-12th-century Alpine and northern Italian hammered silver. |
