| Obverse description | Facing frontal figure of an archbishop or bishop rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner, depicted standing with arms slightly extended, wearing ecclesiastical vestments including a mitre or similar headgear. The figure is shown in low relief against an irregular flan typical of hammered bracteate-style pfennigs of the Salzburg region. The overall design is crude yet iconographically consistent with episcopal coinage of the early 13th century, with minimal surrounding field detail. No clear legend is discernible on this side. |

| Reverse description | Architectural motif in stylized Romanesque fashion, depicting what appears to be a gateway or castle facade with towers, rendered in shallow relief characteristic of hammered silver pfennigs of the period. A central element suggestive of a portal or cross is flanked by flanking architectural features. The design is enclosed within concentric circular border lines, typical of Salzburg pfennig coinage of the early 13th century. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production. No legible inscription is present. |
