| Obverse description | Central device features the quartered coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg displayed within an ornate oval shield. Surmounting the shield is a cross, above which the cardinal's galero is depicted with its characteristic tasselled, tessellated pendant strings arranged symmetrically on either side. The encircling Latin legend names the issuing authority, Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun, with his full ecclesiastical title. The overall composition reflects the high-relief, baroque engraving style characteristic of late 17th-century Austrian ecclesiastical coinage. |
