| Obverse description | Facing bust of the archbishop in high relief, depicted frontally with stylized wavy hair and a nimbed or crowned head; to the left, a prominent crozier with a volute scroll terminates beside the figure. The bust is rendered in the Romanesque manner characteristic of mid-12th-century Rhenish coinage, with linear facial features and a simple neckline. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with fragmentary Latin legend partially visible in the field. |

| Reverse description | Stylized depiction of a church or cathedral facade in high relief, shown frontally with a central tower or doorway flanked by lateral structures, rendered in schematic Romanesque architectural convention. The building motif, a common ecclesiastical type on Trier archiepiscopal deniers, is set within a beaded circular border. The overall composition is bold and flat, consistent with hammered Rhenish bracteate-influenced coinage of the mid-12th century. |
