Reverse description A solemn procession scene depicted within a beaded inner circle, showing bishops and clergy carrying a reliquary chest containing the relics of Saints Rupert and Virgilius, commemorating the translation of their relics on 24 September 1628. The figures are rendered in the detailed baroque engraving style typical of early seventeenth-century Salzburg coinage. A Latin legend encircles the design, commencing at the twelve o'clock position, identifying the saints and recording the date of the translation. The composition is consistent with the commemorative character of the issue, documenting a major ecclesiastical event at the Salzburg Cathedral.
