| Obverse description | Full-length figure of an archbishop standing in frontal position, flanked by two towers, vested in ecclesiastical robes and wearing a mitra. The right hand holds a crozier and the left hand bears a lily scepter. The composition is rendered in the characteristic high-relief thin-flan style of medieval German bracteate coinage, with the architectural flanking elements framing the central hieratic figure. |
