Obverse description Central field displays the quartered arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg within a Gothic quatrefoil frame, the shield divided per pale with the right half bearing a rampant lion and the left half cross-hatched (fusilly), all set against a beaded inner border. The heraldic composition is rendered in the late Gothic style characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century Austrian ecclesiastical coinage. A circular legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs along the outer border, reading the archbishop's titulature. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, as typical of hammered gold coinage of this period.
