| Obverse description | Elaborate quartered coat of arms displayed within an ornate baroque cartouche, surmounted by a patriarchal cross and an archiepiscopal galero with pendant tassels. The heraldic shield incorporates the arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg and those of the Liechtenstein family. The legend encircles the design in the field, reading from the upper right. The overall composition is rendered in high relief in the exuberant baroque style characteristic of 18th-century Salzburg coinage. |

| Obverse lettering | IACOBUS ERN D G ARCH & PRIN SALIS S A L |
| Reverse description | Saint Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, depicted enthroned and facing the viewer, clad in episcopal vestments. He holds a crozier in his left hand and a salt container (salzfass) in his right, both principal attributes of this saint. A radiant halo surrounds his head, and the date 1745 appears within the legend encircling the design. The inscription names the saint in his role as Bishop of Salzburg, consistent with the formal ecclesiastical iconographic tradition of Salzburg ducats. |
