| Obverse description | Half-length facing bust of a secular figure, possibly the bishop-count Conrad IV of Frontenhausen and Teisbach, set within an arcade of four rounded arches; a small rower or attendant figure is depicted at each terminal end of the arcade. The composition is rendered in a flat, stylized Romanesque manner typical of early 13th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | Half-length facing effigy of a bishop in full pontifical vestments, including mitre or episcopal crown, holding a closed book (Bible or Gospel) in the left hand and a crozier in the right; two stars flank the head in the upper field. The design is characteristic of Regensburg episcopal bracteate-influenced deniers of the early 13th century, executed in a schematic Romanesque style. |
