| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered arms of Salzburg impaled with the personal arms of Archbishop Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, set within an ornate oval cartouche enclosed by a dotted inner circle. The fractional denomination (1/8) is positioned at the top of the field, interrupting the circular Latin legend. The legend commences at the upper left and reads continuously around the coin, identifying the issuing prelate by name and title. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Saint Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, depicted facing the viewer and holding a salt box in one hand and a crozier in the other, all contained within a double-circle border. The mitre of the saint divides the circular Latin legend at the top of the coin. The date appears within the reverse legend, localizing the issue to a specific year of the archbishop's reign. The composition follows the standard devotional iconographic tradition of Salzburg coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
