| Beschrijving keerzijde | St. Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, depicted enthroned facing forward within a beaded inner circle, vested in full episcopal robes and mitre, holding a crozier in his left hand and raising his right hand in blessing. The date appears in the upper field flanking the saint's head. The Latin legend naming the saint circumscribes the design within the outer border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau ruled Salzburg from 1587 until his forced abdication in 1612, and his reign was marked by relentless building ambition — he demolished much of the medieval city to reconstruct it along Italian Renaissance lines, largely to impress his long-term mistress Salome Alt, by whom he had fifteen children. The archbishopric's salt revenues funded both the architecture and a prolific gold coinage.
His rule ended when Bavaria and the Prince-Bishop of Passau invaded in 1611 over a dispute with the Prince-Abbot of Berchtesgaden. Wolf Dietrich spent his final years imprisoned in the Hohensalzburg fortress he had once commanded.
