| Obverse description | Draped bust of Archbishop Marcus Sitticus von Hohenems facing left, attired in full pontifical vestments. The circular Latin legend, commencing at approximately 7 o'clock, reads the full titulature identifying the archbishop as Archbishop of Salzburg and Apostolic Legate. The portrait is rendered in the formal ecclesiastical style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German medallic art, with fine detailing on the clerical robes and collar. |
