| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in high relief, depicted in a hieratic Romanesque style, wearing a mitre adorned with pellets and raising his right hand in benediction while holding a crosier to the right. The figure is rendered with stylized drapery decorated with pellet ornaments at the chest, characteristic of mid-12th-century episcopal coinage from the Upper Rhine region. Flanking the bishop's bust are two plant or scepter-like devices in the field. No legend is present, the coin being anonymous. |

| Reverse description | Two standing angels in full-length robes, depicted facing one another in a symmetrical Romanesque composition, jointly supporting a large patriarchal or double-barred cross centered in the field. The figures are rendered with stylized wings and flowing drapery, consistent with the artistic conventions of 12th-century ecclesiastical coinage. A decorative border or base element appears at the lower exergue. No legend is present. |
