A crosier and sword are placed saltirewise behind the shield, denoting the bishop's dual ecclesiastical and secular authority. The armorial composition is rendered in high relief with elaborate baroque decorative mantling framing the escutcheon. The circumferential legend in Latin runs along the outer border of the coin.
