Reverse description A tall fortified tower stands resolutely amid turbulent seas, battered by the four winds depicted as blowing faces at the cardinal points, with waves and rain surrounding the structure — an allegorical device symbolizing steadfast resistance. The Salzburg countermark, comprising the letters '16S81' (denoting the year 1681 applied by Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg), appears prominently in the field. The composition references the original 1593 coinage of Archbishop Wolf Dietrich, to which this countermark was subsequently applied. The legend references the Latin motto of immovable resistance.
