| Obverse description | Bust of a bishop in profile facing right, wearing a mitre, depicted within a plain inner circle. The effigy is rendered in a simplified, stylised manner characteristic of 14th-century hammered bracteate-style coinage of the Upper Rhine region. The design fills the central field, with the pinched octagonal flan visible at the periphery. No legend is present on this face. |

| Reverse description | Uniface coin; the reverse displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse bust, a characteristic feature of thin hammered bracteate-type pfennig coinage. The incuse impression shows the bishop's bust in mitre facing left, pressed into the plain silver flan during striking. The field is otherwise blank with no additional devices or inscriptions. |
