| Obverse description | Facing bust of Bishop Conrad I, depicted with a bearded visage and wearing episcopal vestments including a decorated collar or pectoral ornament. The figure is rendered in a crude but expressive Romanesque style typical of mid-eleventh century German ecclesiastical coinage, with the head occupying the central field. Foliate or scroll-like decorative elements appear to either side of the bust. The surrounding legend reads CVNRADVS EPS, identifying the issuing bishop. |
