| Obverse description | Facing mitred bust of a bishop rendered in a simplified, archaic style typical of medieval bracteate-derived small coinage. The bishop's mitre is prominently depicted above a frontal face with schematic features. The letters B and R appear in the left and right fields respectively, likely abbreviating Basilea (Basel) and possibly a mintmaster or episcopal reference. The design is contained within a roughly circular flan exhibiting four characteristic pinched indentations at the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Uniface coin; the reverse bears no intentional design, displaying only the incuse impression resulting from the hammered striking of the obverse type on the thin silver flan, as is characteristic of this class of medieval half-pfennig coinage. |
