| Obverse description | Mitred bust of a bishop facing right in profile, wearing a pointed mitre, depicted within a beaded inner circle. The letters B and R appear in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the effigy. The entire design is enclosed within a broad outer border of pellets, the flan exhibiting four characteristic pinched indentations consistent with medieval hammered bracteate-related coinage of the Upper Rhine region. |
