| Obverse description | Two facing figures standing on either side of a tall central sceptre or lance: at left, a larger robed figure — likely the bishop — depicted in frontal or three-quarter view wearing ecclesiastical vestments with dotted ornament detail, and at right, a smaller standing figure, possibly a king or emperor, both rendered in the flat, schematic Romanesque style typical of eleventh-century episcopal coinage. The design is contained within a plain inner circle. No legible legend is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | A stylised altar or shrine depicted centrally, upon which stands a bull or ox in profile facing left, surmounted by a patriarchal cross; flanking the altar are two decorative rosette or floral motifs. Below the altar, a plain horizontal bar with a row of pellets is visible, and at the base of the design a small cross pattée appears. Two additional figures or architectural elements flank the composition at lower left and right, all enclosed within a plain inner circle. The overall design is executed in the flat, symbolic Romanesque engraving style characteristic of Alsatian episcopal deniers of the mid-eleventh century. |
