| Obverse description | Cross pattée legend arrangement dividing the field into four quarters, each canton filled with a group of three pellets (bezants). The bishop's name appears in the cross legend, reading outward from the center. The overall design is characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical coinage, with crude but bold lettering typical of Ottonian-era hammered silver. |

| Reverse description | Stylized depiction of a church or cathedral facade in profile, rendered in the Ottonian architectural convention with a prominent gabled roof and columned structure. The name of the moneyer (PERO) is inscribed within or beneath the building, flanked by the mint name FRISING and the abbreviation CIV (civitas), identifying the city of Freising. The architectural motif is a hallmark of Bavarian episcopal coinage of the early eleventh century. |
