| Obverse description | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side — the arms of Salzburg to the left and the personal arms of Archbishop Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg to the right — surmounted by a cardinal's hat. The date appears in the lower field beneath the shields. The devices are enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend commencing at 12 o'clock and running clockwise around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | St. Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, depicted full-length and facing the viewer in a frontal hieratic pose, vested in episcopal robes. He holds a salt cellar in his right hand and a crozier in his left, referencing his legendary introduction of the salt trade to the region. The figure is contained within a beaded inner circle; the mitre above his head and his feet below interrupt and divide the surrounding Latin legend, which identifies him by name and title. |
