Obverse description Frontal enthroned figure of a bishop, vested in pontifical robes, holding a crozier in his right hand and a book in his left. The effigy is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of 13th-century Central European hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend runs between two concentric lines in the outer border of the flan.

Reverse description A heraldic griffin passant to the right, depicted with raised foreleg and outstretched wing, rendered in the bold, compact style typical of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs of the mid-13th century. The device occupies the central field, with a circular Latin legend contained between two beaded borders. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production.
