| Obverse description | A plain cross with arms extending to the inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters each containing one letter of the legend EPIS, arranged cantonwise. The circular legend reads EGILBERTVS, naming Bishop Egilbert of Freising. The design is executed in the rudimentary hammered style typical of Ottonian-Salian episcopal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A schematic depiction of a church or temple facade with a gabled roof and five columns rendered in the Ottonian architectural manner, occupying the central field. The surrounding circular legend reads HEINRICI REGI, acknowledging the suzerainty of King Henry II. The architectural motif, a hallmark of Bavarian episcopal deniers of this period, is boldly struck though irregular in execution. |
