| Obverse description | Four heraldic shields arranged in a quatrefoil pattern at center, comprising the arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg, with the date 1565 divided across the left and right fields. The upper-left shield displays a rampant lion; the upper-right bears a chequered device; the lower-left depicts a mounted knight; the lower-right shows a fortified tower or castle. The circular Latin legend reading + IOAN IAC D G ARCHIEPS SALZ APO SE LEG 15 65 runs along the outer border, identifying Archbishop Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi by name and title. The coin exhibits fine hammered execution typical of sixteenth-century South German ecclesiastical gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | Enthroned frontal figure of Saint Rupert of Salzburg, patron saint of the archbishopric, depicted in full pontifical vestments including a mitre, seated upon an ornate throne. The saint holds a bishop's crozier in his left hand and an attribute in his right, his robes rendered with fine drapery lines characteristic of Renaissance die-cutting. The circular Latin legend S RVDBERTVS EPVS SALZBVRGEN surrounds the figure along the outer border, identifying the saint as Bishop Rupert of Salzburg. The reverse demonstrates the high artistic quality associated with Salzburg coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. |
