| Obverse description | Frontal enthroned effigy of a bishop in full pontifical vestments, depicted in a hieratic Romanesque style. The figure holds a processional cross-staff in each hand, raised symmetrically to either side. The stylized folds of the episcopal robes are rendered in flat relief, characteristic of 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. No legend present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A frontal bust, likely representing a civic or ecclesiastical personification, flanked by two towers with turrets rising at each side. Two small crosses appear above the towers, framing the central bust within an architectural composition typical of Carinthian and Styrian Pfennig coinage of the early 13th century. The design is rendered in low relief with no surrounding legend, the entire composition contained within the irregular flan. |
