| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a figure, likely a bishop or abbot, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style. The effigy displays a broad face with prominent eyes and appears to wear ecclesiastical vestments. A crozier or staff is held upright alongside the bust. The field surrounding the figure shows traces of a border or beaded circle, though legends are not clearly legible due to the crude strike characteristic of 11th-century monastic coinage. |

| Reverse description | The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) depicted standing in profile, with head turned back and a cross-staff or banner rising behind it. The lamb is rendered in a simplified, stylised manner typical of Ottonian and early Salian period ecclesiastical coinage. A beaded or linear border frames the design, and traces of a surrounding legend may be present though largely illegible on this specimen. |
