| Obverse description | Facing bust of Archbishop Konrad I in high relief, rendered in a Romanesque stylized manner characteristic of early 12th-century Friesach coinage. The figure displays a schematic facial treatment with prominent eyes and a rounded head, flanked by simplified vestment folds. A curved crozier or episcopal staff appears to the left of the bust. The design occupies the majority of the broad, irregularly flan, with no surrounding legend, consistent with early Friesacher Pfennig typology. |

| Reverse description | A stylized architectural or ecclesiastical motif in high relief, depicting a cross surmounted by a globus or orb at its apex, with symmetrical branching elements suggestive of a schematic church facade or ceremonial cross. Pellets are distributed around the central device in a decorative arrangement. The design is executed in the bold, naive Romanesque style typical of early 12th-century Friesach workshop production. The field is plain, with no surrounding inscription, and the flan edges are irregular as expected from hammered manufacture. |
