| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis displayed on a pointed heraldic shield, centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in a gothic style typical of late medieval Swiss ecclesiastical coinage. A Latin legend surrounds the beaded circle in the outer field, reading the bishop's abbreviated title and name. |
