| Obverse description | Frontal enthroned effigy of Bishop Conrad I, depicted in high relief in a stylised Romanesque manner, wearing a mitre and richly ornamented episcopal vestments. The figure holds a crosier in the left hand and a standard or sceptre in the right hand, with flanking six-pointed stars in the field. The throne is visible beneath the figure, rendered schematically. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with a partial legend running in the outer margin. |
