| Obverse description | Facing effigy of a bishop wearing a miter, shown in three-quarter view to the left, with the right hand raised in benediction and a crozier held to the left. The figure is rendered in a flat, stylized Romanesque manner typical of 13th-century episcopal deniers, with schematic drapery folds filling the field. The design is struck in high relief on a broad, thin flan characteristic of hammered Alsatian coinage of the period. |

Within the arched portal, a five-spoke wheel is prominently displayed, serving as a heraldic emblem of the Bishopric of Strasbourg. The overall design is compact and boldly struck, with architectural details filling the flan. |
