| Obverse description | Bareheaded effigy of Bishop Conrad in right-facing profile bust, a crozier depicted before the face, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The portrait is rendered in the crude but expressive Ottonian-Salian hammered style typical of late 11th-century episcopal coinage of the Low Countries. The surrounding field carries the Latin legend identifying the issuing bishop. The beaded border delineates the design zone from the coin's irregular outer edge. |

| Reverse description | A short voided cross with a single pellet placed in each of the four angles, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The cross arms extend to the beaded border, dividing the surrounding field into four segments occupied by the letters of the mint name legend. The composition follows the standard episcopal denier type of the Low Countries, combining the cross motif as a religious symbol of episcopal authority with the mint name in the outer legend. The workmanship reflects the hand-struck, irregular character of 11th-century hammered coinage. |
