| Obverse description | Facing half-length effigy of a bishop, depicted frontally in Romanesque style, wearing a mitre and episcopal vestments with a decorated pectoral. The figure holds a crozier in the left hand and raises the right hand in a gesture of benediction. Four pellets or annulets are disposed in the field surrounding the figure. The central device is contained within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by an ornate outer border of alternating arches and floral or trefoil motifs, characteristic of south German bracteate coinage of the late 12th century. |

No intentional design, legend, or device is present on the reverse. |
