| Obverse description | Prague Groschen host coin struck in hammered silver, bearing a prominent rectangular countermark applied by the Bishopric of Salzburg, stamped centrally into the field. The countermark depicts a small heraldic device, likely an episcopal emblem, punched deeply into the coin's surface. Remnants of the original Bohemian legend are visible around the periphery in Gothic uncial lettering, partially obscured by wear and the irregular flan edge. The surrounding beaded or toothed border of the host coin remains partially legible. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the host Prague Groschen retaining the original Bohemian design, with a crowned lion of Bohemia visible in low relief, characteristic of the Prague Groschen series issued under the Bohemian crown. A second Salzburg countermark, depicting what appears to be a facing bust or heraldic head, has been applied prominently to the central field. Fragments of the original circular Latin legend in Gothic uncial script are discernible around the periphery, though heavily worn and partially lost to the irregular flan margin. |
