| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of a standing bishop in ecclesiastical vestments, holding a book in his left hand and a crozier in his right hand. The effigy is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of early 13th-century Friesach coinage. A Latin legend encircles the central design, contained between two concentric circles forming the border. |

| Reverse description | Above a double-arched wall or arcade, two heraldic devices are depicted: on the left, a bareheaded bust in profile, and on the right, a left-facing eagle. Above the eagle, a six-pointed star is flanked by two crosses. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded circle, typical of Friesach-type bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the period. |
