| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop depicted in high relief within a beaded inner circle, wearing a mitre and vestments, with both arms raised and holding a crozier in the right hand; the figure is rendered in the stylized Romanesque manner typical of 12th-century episcopal coinage. The surrounding field is plain within the beaded border. The flan is thin and irregular, consistent with the Dünnpfennig technique prevalent in southern German ecclesiastical issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Frontal enthroned figure of a bishop within a beaded inner circle, depicted in simplified Romanesque style with a mitre, vestments, and crozier, flanked by architectural or symbolic elements on either side. A partial Latin legend is visible around the inner circle, though the thin flan and irregular striking have resulted in incomplete letter forms. The overall composition is characteristic of the episcopal bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the Bishopric of Augsburg during the late 12th century. |
