| Obverse description | Facing bust of Bishop Hartwig II depicted in Romanesque style, centrally positioned within a raised inner circle. The bishop is shown wearing a mitre and holding a crozier to his left and what appears to be a book or cross to his right. The bust is rendered in a stylized, hieratic manner characteristic of early 13th-century South German ecclesiastical coinage. The inner circle is surrounded by a broad decorative border composed of alternating trefoil and scroll ornaments arranged in a lobed or scalloped pattern around the entire periphery of the flan. |
