| Reverse description | St. Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, is depicted enthroned and facing, holding his episcopal attributes, with a small figure of the Madonna and Child to the left. A cardinal's hat is displayed above the heraldic shield in the lower left field. The encircling Latin legend, commencing at approximately 7 o'clock, identifies the saint as Bishop of Salzburg, with the date of issue incorporated into the legend. The overall composition is typical of the elaborate baroque ecclesiastical reverse designs employed by the Salzburg mint in this period. |

| Additional information |
Sigismund von Schrattenbach ruled Salzburg from 1753 until his death in 1771, and his lengthy episcopate generated an unusually prolific coinage — the numbered type designations for his thalers run well into double figures. The KM#395.3 designation with the Zöttl reference places this among the variants distinguished by subtle die differences in the arms configuration, the kind of granular cataloging detail that Salzburg specialists have pursued obsessively since Zöttl's foundational work on the series.
The 1761–1762 window falls during the final stretch of the Seven Years' War, when Salzburg, as an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire, navigated the conflict without direct military involvement but not without fiscal pressure.
