| Obverse description | Facing bust of a bishop in high relief, depicted frontally within a central roundel, holding a crozier; radiating arms extend outward from the central figure in a stylized star or wheel pattern, with decorative elements filling the intervening fields. The overall design is boldly struck in the Romanesque manner typical of south German ecclesiastical bracteate-style pfennigs of the 12th century. No legible legend is present. |

| Reverse description | A large rayed sun or solar wheel motif dominates the flan, formed by multiple straight rays emanating from a central concentric circle, enclosed within a plain inner ring. The outer rim is bordered by a repeating pellet-and-notch pattern forming a decorative beaded edge. The design is deeply struck with crisp, bold lines characteristic of hammered south German pfennigs of the late 12th century. No inscription or legend is present. |
