| Obverse description | The Virgin Mary (Madonna) standing facing, crowned and draped, holding the Christ Child in her right arm; the composition is rendered in high relief in the baroque style. Below the central figure, the quartered coat of arms of Archbishop Paris von Lodron is displayed within an ornate cartouche flanked by decorative mantling. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the design in the field, incorporating the Marian antiphon 'Sub tuum praesidium confugimus.' The overall design reflects the devotional iconography characteristic of Counter-Reformation Salzburg coinage. |
