| Obverse description | Crude facing bust of the bishop rendered in the primitive Ottonian style, with strongly schematized facial features including large eyes and a broad nose. The hair is indicated by incised striated lines radiating from the crown of the head. The bust is positioned centrally within the irregular hammered flan, with partial traces of a surrounding legend partially visible in the field. The overall style is characteristic of early 11th-century episcopal coinage from Franconia. |

| Reverse description | Highly stylized representation of a church or chapel façade, depicted in schematic architectural form. A triangular gabled roof surmounts a square or rectangular body, with a central circular element — likely representing a window or doorway — occupying the interior of the structure. A small pellet appears beneath the apex of the gable, and a cross is visible below the base of the building. The design is boldly executed in low relief, consistent with hammered episcopal coinage of the early Salian period. |
