| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, displaying the divided escutcheon with the ecclesiastical heraldic elements of the see. The shield is surmounted by a princely coronet and flanked on either side by the initials S and B (Salzburg Bishopric) in the field. The coin's border exhibits a fine toothed or beaded rim characteristic of milled coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the denomination and date arranged in a stacked typographic format across the field, reading '1 PFENNING' set in three lines, with the date 1779 below. Small decorative star or rosette ornaments appear above and below the denomination text, serving as separators. The legend is enclosed within a plain inner circle and surrounded by a beaded border. The overall layout is bold and legible, consistent with the utilitarian design conventions of late 18th-century Austrian ecclesiastical coinage. |
