| Obverse description | Facing bust of the archbishop rendered in crude, bold relief, occupying the central field. The figure displays a stylized face with prominent features, flanked by small globules or pellets at either side of the head. A six-pointed star appears to the right in the field, while additional pellets are distributed around the bust. Below the bust, a row of short vertical strokes or dentils suggests a collar or vestment detail. The overall style is characteristic of Romanesque provincial die-cutting, with a flat, schematic treatment typical of mid-12th-century Friesach pfennigs. |

| Reverse description | Three standing figures depicted in high relief within a beaded border of radiating denticles encircling the entire field. The central and flanking figures are rendered as stylized architectural or ecclesiastical forms with rounded heads, likely representing saints or ecclesiastical dignitaries, consistent with the iconography of Salzburg episcopal coinage. Below the figures, a row of pellets or beads forms a base line, with a crescent or arch motif beneath. The design is executed in the bold, schematic Romanesque style characteristic of Friesach mint production under Archbishop Eberhard I. |
