| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a majestic neoclassical temple façade in high relief, rendered with meticulous architectural detail including a colonnaded portico of six fluted columns supporting a triangular pediment, within which the inscription D · O · M · (Deo Optimo Maximo) is inscribed. Between the central columns, a radiant sunburst emanates from the interior of the temple, symbolising divine glory. The circular legend PRINCEPS POPULUSQ : IUVAVIENS : arcs around the upper periphery, denoting the Prince and people of Juvavum (the ancient Roman name for Salzburg). In the lower exergue, a two-line inscription reads SEC : IUB : XII / CIƆIƆCCLXXXII, recording the twelfth secular jubilee and the year 1782 in a hybrid Roman numeral form, with the engraver's initials F · M · below. The overall composition commemorates the religious and civic jubilee celebrated in Salzburg in 1782. |

Hieronymus von Colloredo, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1772, was one of the most contentious figures in the archbishopric's history — a committed Josephinist reformer who abolished feast days, curtailed monastic privileges, and made an enemy of nearly every conservative Catholic in the region. He is perhaps best remembered today as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's employer and nemesis, whose dismissal of the composer in 1781 — reportedly involving a literal kick — came just one year before this piece was struck.
Twelve-ducat multiples of this type were presentation pieces, not circulation currency. The Salzburg mint produced them for diplomatic gift-giving and court ceremony.
