| Obverse description | Enthroned frontal figure of the abbot, depicted in Romanesque style, wearing a mitre and holding a crozier in the right hand; the figure is shown seated with legs apart and feet turned outward, flanked by foliate or scroll ornaments on either side. The relief is bold and highly stylized in the manner typical of Thuringian-Hessian bracteate coinage of the early thirteenth century. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a plain outer rim characteristic of the thin hammered bracteate flan. No legible inscription is present on this type. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin has no independent reverse design; the reverse presents an incuse mirror image of the obverse relief, showing the enthroned abbot figure in negative relief as an inherent consequence of the single-die hammered bracteate technique. The surface is plain and uninscribed, with the typical thin, slightly concave flan associated with this coinage. |
