| Obverse description | Facing mitred bust of Bishop Lüthold II von Rötteln, depicted in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The bishop is shown frontally, wearing a mitre with visible decorative elements and episcopal vestments including a clasp or morse at the neck. The facial features are rendered in a stylised Romanesque manner typical of 13th-century episcopal bracteate-style pfennigs. The legend LVT OLd appears in the field, referencing the issuing bishop's name. |
