| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of a standing bishop in ecclesiastical vestments, holding a crozier in his right hand and a key in his left. The figure is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner typical of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. A circular inscription runs between two concentric beaded or linear circles in the outer field. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop with both hands raised in a gesture of benediction or elevation, supporting a domed structure flanked by two towers — an architectural motif representing a church or cathedral facade. A star appears above the central dome. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded circle, emphasizing the ecclesiastical and heraldic character of this Friesacher Pfennig type. |
