| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate quartered archiepiscopal arms of Salzburg, surmounted by a cross and hat with pendant tassels on either side, all within a beaded inner circle. The crowned shield displays the characteristic Salzburg lion and other heraldic charges. The date 16-68 is divided at the base of the shield. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin capitals, reads the full titulature of Archbishop Maximilian Gandolph von Kuenburg, identifying him as Archbishop of Salzburg, Apostolic Legate, and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. |
