| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of Bishop Conrad rendered in Romanesque style, depicted in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The bishop is shown facing, wearing a mitre or crown-like headdress, and holding a crozier in one hand and a cross-tipped staff in the other. The crude, archaic workmanship is characteristic of 11th-century episcopal coinage of the Lower Rhine region. The circumscribed Latin legend runs along the outer border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Stylized architectural representation of a church or cathedral façade with three towers, rendered in the Romanesque manner characteristic of 11th-century episcopal coinage. The central tower is flanked by two lateral towers, all rising above an arcaded base suggestive of the Dom of Utrecht. Figures are visible within or flanking the towers, a common motif on contemporary Low Countries ecclesiastical issues. The composition fills the flan, with the circumscribed Latin legend encircling the architectural device along the outer border. |
