| Obverse description | A frontally-standing bishop rendered in the Romanesque style, depicted in full vestments and holding a book (likely the Gospels) in his left hand and a crozier in his right. The figure is presented in a hieratic, stylized manner typical of early 13th-century Friesacher Pfennige. A Latin legend appears in the outer field, contained between two concentric linear circles, reading partially as [---]VE - ANS. |

A partially legible Latin legend is inscribed in the outer field between two concentric circles, reading cLIcAPV (?). |
