| Reverse description | St. Rupert of Salzburg depicted facing, vested in episcopal robes, holding a saltbox in his right hand and a crozier in his left — attributes emblematic of his identity as patron saint and first Bishop of Salzburg. A small shield bearing the Keutschach family arms (a turnip) appears below the saint's figure. The design is executed in the late Gothic style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Austrian ecclesiastical coinage. A Gothic uncial legend encircles the composition within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Leonhard von Keutschach ruled the Archbishopric of Salzburg from 1495 until his death in 1519, presiding over a period of considerable territorial tension with the Habsburg crown — Emperor Maximilian I repeatedly pressured Salzburg's ecclesiastical independence, and the archbishopric's continued right to strike gold coinage was itself a point of jurisdictional friction. These gulden were produced across roughly thirteen years of that standoff.
The Zöttl reference numbers 15 through 20 cover at least six distinct die combinations within this type, making attribution to a specific struck year essentially impossible without die study.
