| Obverse description | A tonsured cleric seated on a stool facing left is depicted at right, his right hand grasping an upright crosier positioned at the center of the design, while his left hand rests against his torso. To the left, a helmeted layman stands facing right, seizing the crosier with both hands in a gesture of investiture. Below the crook of the crosier appears a small frontal or near-frontal head or figural motif. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which runs a distorted and largely illegible Latin legend in the outer annulus. |

| Reverse description | A stylized city wall is rendered with a central archway flanked by three towers in the characteristic Regensburg civic type. Within the archway, a bare head is shown nearly frontally, turned slightly to the left, representing the bishop or a civic authority. The architectural motif is a conventional representation of the city of Regensburg. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a distorted and largely illegible Latin legend filling the outer annulus. |
