| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of a standing bishop in ecclesiastical vestments, holding an open book in his left hand and a crozier in his right; the figure's feet extend beyond the inner border into the legend area. The design is executed in the flat, stylized Romanesque manner typical of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The legend is arranged peripherally between two linear circles. |
