| Reverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Saint Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, depicted facing the viewer, holding a salt box in one hand and a crozier in the other, all within a beaded circle. The Archbishop's mitre surmounting the figure divides the circular Latin legend at the top of the field. The reverse lettering reads: SANCTVS RVDBERTVS EPS SALZBVRGE, identifying the saint as Bishop of Salzburg. The composition reflects the devotional iconographic tradition common to Salzburg ecclesiastical coinage of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. |
