| Obverse description | Square klippe flan with a rope-bordered oval cartouche set on a diamond-oriented field, enclosing the quartered arms of the archbishopric of Salzburg: a crowned lion rampant to sinister in the dexter half, and a fess with a saltire in the sinister half, all rendered in high relief. Decorative scrollwork and foliate ornaments occupy the four corners of the klippe, with a crowned top element surmounting the cartouche. The overall design is executed in the elaborate Renaissance style typical of late sixteenth-century Salzburg coinage. |

| Reverse description | Square klippe flan with a rope-bordered oval cartouche containing the quartered family arms of Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, displayed on an ornate shield divided into four quarters with a central boss or pellet, each quarter bearing heraldic charges rendered in bold relief. A fleur-de-lis or foliate finial crowns the cartouche at the apex, while scrolling acanthus ornaments fill the four corners of the diamond-oriented flan. The design reflects the highly decorative Mannerist engraving style characteristic of Salzburg klippe coinage of the period. |
