| Obverse description | Facing half-length episcopal effigy of Bishop Conrad II of Tegerfelden, depicted frontally within a raised inner circle, wearing a mitre adorned with lappets falling to either side of the head. The figure grasps a crozier with both hands held before the chest. The style is characteristic of early 13th-century Swabian bracteate coinage, with schematic facial features rendered in low relief. The entire design is enclosed within a bold outer beaded border. |
