| Obverse description | Centrally placed shield bearing the arms of Salzburg — a divided escutcheon featuring the characteristic episcopal heraldic device — struck within a round border. The design is rendered in the crude, bold style typical of late medieval hammered pfennigs, with the shield occupying most of the flan. The irregular planchet and flat strike are characteristic of mid-15th century Salzburg coinage. |

| Reverse description | A five-petalled rosette or cinquefoil motif displayed centrally within a lozenge (rhombus-shaped) border, all set against a plain field. The rosette is boldly rendered with each petal clearly defined, consistent with the decorative reverse types used on Salzburg pfennigs of the episcopate of Frederick IV of Emmerberg. The lozenge frame is formed by double incuse lines, giving the design a geometric framing typical of Austrian ecclesiastical bracteate-influenced issues of this period. |
