| Obverse description | Enthroned ecclesiastical figure shown facing, wearing a mitre and holding a crozier, depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner within the field. The figure is flanked by foliage or decorative elements. A partial Latin legend runs around the periphery, partially divided by the enthroned figure below. The overall rendering is characteristic of 12th–13th century Alpine hammered coinage, with angular and schematic treatment of the seated effigy. |

| Reverse description | A stylized church facade depicted with two prominent flanking towers, each surmounted by a globus or finial, with a central cross rising above the roofline between them. The nave features a triangular gabled roof with decorative elements, and the base of the structure rests upon an arcaded plinth rendered in schematic Romanesque style. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, reflecting the architectural imagery typical of episcopal and comital coinage of the Alpine region in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. |
