| Obverse description | Facing bearded bust rendered in crude Ottonian style, the figure depicted frontally with schematic facial features including a prominent beard. The bust is shown holding a long cross-staff, with the drapery summarily indicated at the shoulders. The portrait fills the central field of the coin, executed in the rough, expressive manner characteristic of mid-11th century German episcopal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Left-facing bust in profile, depicted in a schematic Ottonian manner with drapery indicated at the shoulder, holding a crosier — the pastoral staff emblematic of episcopal authority. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust in the field. The style is characteristic of anonymous episcopal deniers struck in the Saxony region during the mid-11th century. |
