| Obverse description | Within a lozenge-shaped inner frame, the episcopal arms of Salzburg — a shield bearing the saltire — impaled with the personal arms of Bishop Sigismund von Volkersdorf, depicted as a quartered or divided shield. An eagle or heraldic bird is visible to the right side of the shield. The overall design is typical of late medieval Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs, struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan with flat relief. |

| Reverse description | Incuse mirror image of the obverse design, as is characteristic of thin hammered billon pfennigs of this period, where the obverse die impression appears in reverse relief on the reverse face of the flan. The surface is plain and unadorned, showing typical flan irregularities consistent with hand-struck medieval coinage. |
