| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in pontifical vestments, holding a crosier in one hand and a book with a split binding in the other. The figure is rendered in a flat, stylized medieval manner characteristic of Austrian episcopal bracteate-related coinage. The bust is set within a beaded or plain border, occupying the full field of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Stylized architectural facade depicting a church gable flanked by two towers, rendered in low relief in the hammered medieval tradition. A cross surmounts the central gable, and the base of the structure is articulated with a series of rounded arches. The design fills the irregular flan without a surrounding legend, typical of undated episcopal pfennigs of the Bishopric of Gurk. |
