| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Abbot Conrad II seated in half-length, vested in ecclesiastical robes ornamented with a pectoral cross, holding a crozier in his left hand and a book or object in his right. The figure is rendered in high Romanesque relief typical of bracteate coinage, with stylized drapery folds and a nimbed or mitered head. A beaded inner circle frames the central effigy, with the Latin legend distributed around the border reading CVNRADVS ABBAS CVNRA, identifying the abbot by name. The irregular flan exhibits characteristic bracteate thinness, with the design struck in uniface technique from a single die. |
