| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of Saint Martin of Tours in Roman military attire, mounted on a prancing horse facing left, depicted in the act of charity as he extends his cloak toward a kneeling beggar at lower right. The arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz — a shield bearing horizontal barry — appear on a cartouche in the lower field beneath the horse. The composition is rendered in high relief with fine baroque detail, and the circumferential legend naming Saint Martin as patron of the archbishopric runs around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a seven-line Latin inscription within an elaborate wreath of acanthus leaves and floral ornaments, reading CAPITVLVM METROPOLITANVM MOGVNTINVM SEDE VACANTE 1732, declaring the authority of the Metropolitan Chapter of Mainz during the vacancy of the archiepiscopal see. The date 1732 appears in the exergual line at the base of the inscription. The wreath border is finely engraved in a symmetrical baroque style, framing the text against a smooth, lightly toned field. |
