| Obverse description | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side: the dexter shield bearing the arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg, the sinister shield bearing the personal arms of Archbishop Michael von Kuenburg. The date of issue appears above the shields in the field, with the initial letter 'M' positioned below, serving as a reference to the archbishop's name. The design is executed in the rough, irregular style characteristic of hammered minor coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Uniface issue; the reverse is entirely blank, with no design, legend, or embellishment of any kind. The plain, unworked surface is a deliberate feature of this low-denomination hammered pfennig, typical of small silver bracteate-influenced coinage from the Salzburg mint during this period. |
