Beschrijving voorzijde Facing bust of a bishop in high relief, as is characteristic of the bracteate technique, set within a plain inner circle against an unadorned field. The figure is depicted frontally, wearing a mitre with flanking architectural or tower-like elements to either side, evoking ecclesiastical authority and the episcopal seat of Augsburg. The face is rendered in a schematic Romanesque style with simplified features, and the bust terminates at the shoulders with a suggestion of liturgical vestments. Flanking the head are symmetrical scroll or volute ornaments, adding decorative framing to the composition. The reverse, being the incuse mirror image inherent to bracteate coinage, repeats the same design in negative relief.

Beschrijving keerzijde As a true bracteate struck from a single die on a thin flan, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design. The facing episcopal bust with mitre, flanking tower elements, and volute ornaments appear in negative relief, sunk into the reverse surface. This characteristic feature of medieval German bracteate coinage results from the force of the hammer blow transmitting the obverse design through the thin silver flan, producing a recessed impression on the reverse with no independent design.
