Reverse description St. Radiana standing in the central field, depicted under attack by two wolves, one at each side. In the left background, the castle of Wellenburg is shown, while a tree occupies the right background, grounding the scene in the heraldic and personal iconography of the archbishop. The composition is characteristic of large-format hammered multiple thalers produced in the Salzburg region during the early sixteenth century, combining hagiographic narrative with landscape elements. The circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design.
