| Obverse description | Draped bust of Archbishop Sigismund von Schrattenbach facing right, with the legend commencing at 8 o'clock reading the full ecclesiastical title: SIGISMUNDUS DEI GRATIA ARCHIEPISCOPUS ET PRINCEPS SALISBURGENSIS SEDIS APOSTOLICAE LEGATUS NATUS GERMANIAE PRIMAS. The engraver's signature initials FM appear beneath the bust truncation. The portrait is rendered in a refined Baroque style with detailed vestments and a naturalistic likeness characteristic of mid-18th century Austrian ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | Saint Rupert seated three-quarters facing right, holding a crozier in his right hand and a saltcellar in his left, the traditional attributes of the patron saint of Salzburg. Beneath the seat are the archbishop's hat and the Schrattenbach family coat of arms. The date appears within the legend, and the name SANCTUS RUDBERTUS is inscribed in the exergue. The composition is bold and heraldically detailed, consistent with the Baroque ecclesiastical tradition of the period. |
