Obverse description Central field occupied by a quartered heraldic shield: the dexter half bears a rampant lion to sinister, while the sinister half displays three horizontal bars, together forming the combined arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg and the personal arms of Archbishop Johann II von Reisberg. The shield is set within a plain round border on an unadorned field. The coin exhibits the irregular, slightly buckled flan characteristic of medieval hammered coinage. No legend is present on this face.

Reverse description Plain, nearly featureless field typical of a single-sided or weakly struck medieval Pfennig bracteate-style hammered coinage. The reverse shows a shallow, incuse impression of the obverse design, consistent with the production technique of thin hammered silver pfennigs of the period. No inscription or device is distinguishable on this face. The flan edges are irregular and clipped, as is common for coins of this type and era.
