| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver. At center, a sword and an episcopal key are depicted crossed saltirewise, the sword pointing toward the upper right and the key downward to the lower right, its bow rendered as a square ring. A six-pointed star occupies the upper left field. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded border encircling the full perimeter of the flan, characteristic of the anonymous episcopal coinage of Dorpat. |
