| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hieronymus von Colloredo, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed vestments. The encircling legend reads the full abbreviated Latin title of the Archbishop as Apostolic Legate and Primate of Germany. The engraver's initial M, for Matthäus Mazenkopf, appears below the truncation of the bust. The portrait is executed in the accomplished late Baroque style characteristic of the Salzburg mint. |

| Reverse description | A frontal view of a classical temple façade with columns, surmounted by the letters DOM (Dominus Omnium Magister, or Deo Optimo Maximo) at the apex. A radiant sun emanates from the central tympanum of the pediment, symbolizing divine light. The circumferential legend records the occasion of the twelfth jubilee of the Prince-Archbishop's reign over the city and people of Salzburg (Iuvavum). The date 1782 appears in the exergue below the temple, separated from the main design. |
