| Obverse description | Bust of the Archbishop facing left, depicted in profile wearing a mitre, holding a patriarchal cross staff in one hand and a crozier in the other. The figure is rendered in a crude but expressive Romanesque style typical of late 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. No visible legend surrounds the effigy. |

| Reverse description | Stylized depiction of a church or cathedral façade shown frontally, featuring a central tower or portal with arched openings rendered in a schematic Romanesque manner. Flanking turrets or pillars are visible on either side of the principal structure, and decorative elements fill the field. The design is characteristic of the architectural church type common on Mainz episcopal bracteate-influenced pfennige of the period. |
