| Obverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the Benediktinerinnenabtei Nonnberg (Nonnberg Abbey) occupies the upper field, depicting the abbey complex with its distinctive Baroque tower and onion dome in the foreground, the broader monastic buildings spreading across the middle ground, and the Hohensalzburg Fortress prominently rendered on the rocky hill in the background. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed in large characters in the lower left field, with 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' arching below and the date '2006' appearing in the exergue. The legend 'BENEDIKTINERINNENABTEI NONNBERG' curves along the upper border of the coin. |

| Reverse description | A full-length Gothic-style effigy of Saint Erentrudis, the first abbess of Nonnberg Abbey, stands in the centre of the field, crowned and robed in flowing drapery. She holds a crozier in her right hand and a model of a church building in her left, both traditional attributes of her saintly iconography. The background depicts the vaulted interior of the abbey's Gothic cloister, with ribbed stone arches, slender columns, and a tiled floor rendered in fine relief. The inscription 'HL. ERENTRUDIS' appears in the lower right field beneath the figure. |
