Obverse description Frontal bust of Archbishop Conrad I of Querfurt in pontifical vestments, shown enthroned and facing forward in the Romanesque style characteristic of early 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The archbishop is depicted wearing a mitre and holding a crozier in his left hand, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction. Flanking the central figure are stylized architectural elements suggestive of cathedral towers or columns, emphasizing the ecclesiastical authority of the issuer. A circular Latin legend reading + CVNRADV AREP surrounds the central design within a beaded or rope border. The relief is boldly struck in the bracteate tradition, with fine detail preserved in the facial features and drapery of the vestments.
