| Obverse description | Central device composed of two interlocked heraldic shields surmounted by a pontifical mitre, all encircled by a decorative interlaced rope or ribbon border with foliate elements extending into the corners of the square klippe flan. The left shield bears the arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg and the right shield displays the personal arms of Archbishop Leonard von Keutschach. The date 1518 is inscribed in Arabic numerals in the lower field beneath the shields. The entire design is rendered in a bold, low-relief hammered style characteristic of early sixteenth-century South German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | Plain, uniface reverse with no design, legend, or devices, displaying only the texture of the hammered billon planchet with diagonal file or preparation marks visible across the entire surface. This blank reverse is typical of small-denomination klippe issues of the period, where the die was applied to one face only. |
