| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany and Archduke of Austria, rendered in a classical neoclassical style. The legend commences at 12 o'clock and reads as an abbreviated Latin inscription expanding to 'Ferdinandus Dei Gratia Hungariae Bohemiae Regius Princeps, Archidux Austriae Dux Salisburgensis'. The portrait is finely engraved, attributed to Mazentopf, with the subject's features depicted in a formal, official manner consistent with Habsburg regal portraiture of the early 19th century. |

| Reverse description | Crowned and elaborate coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg centered in the field, flanked by the abbreviated Latin legend commencing at 12 o'clock and reading 'Princeps Aichstatensis, Passau et Berchtolsgaden, Sacri Romani Imperii Princeps Elector'. The denomination '20' appears within a lozenge (rhombus) that divides the legend at the base, with the date incorporated into the legend. The heraldic composition reflects the ecclesiastical and temporal authority of the Salzburg see under Ferdinand III's administration. |
