| Obverse description | Facing effigy of a bishop enthroned in full pontifical vestments, wearing a two-pointed miter. The bishop holds a crosier in his right hand and a processional cross in his left. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized Romanesque manner typical of early 13th-century episcopal bracteate-influenced coinage. The design is contained within a beaded (pearl) circle. |

| Reverse description | Central device of an eight-petaled rosette within a beaded (pearl) circle, flanked by four inward-facing crescents, each accompanied by a star in the void between the crescent horns. Between each adjacent pair of crescents, a small cross is placed between two pellets, creating a regular alternating arrangement around the central rosette. The overall composition exhibits the geometric, heraldic character typical of Rhenish and Franconian ecclesiastical bracteate-era small coinage. |
