| Obverse description | Draped and capped bust of Bishop Wolfgang von Schrattenbach facing right, wearing a biretta and ecclesiastical robes with a cross pendant visible at the chest. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail characteristic of early 18th-century German baroque coinage. The legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, with the bishop's full title abbreviated in Latin. The field is smooth and the portrait occupies the majority of the coin's surface. |

Below the cross, a quartered heraldic achievement displays the arms of the bishopric and the Schrattenbach family. The date is divided by a star at the top center of the coin, split across the upper field. The full legend encircles the design within a beaded border, citing the bishop's secular and ecclesiastical titles. |
