| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in ecclesiastical vestments, holding a sword upright in his right hand and a stemmed orb or cross-tipped scepter in his left. The effigy is rendered in the schematic Romanesque style typical of Friesach-type bracteate coinage circa 1200. A partially legible Latin legend, reading [...] EEA [.] NAE, encircles the bust and is confined between two concentric beaded or linear borders. |

| Reverse description | Stylized architectural facade of a church or cathedral rendered in the Romanesque manner, featuring a central pointed gable surmounted by a cross with a dot above it flanked by two slender towers, each capped with a conical roof terminating in an upward-facing crescent and sphere finial. Four annulets or rings are set into the facade, lending a decorative quality characteristic of Friesach-type issues. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded circle serving as the outer border. |
