Reverse description Frontal half-length figure of Saint Rupert of Salzburg, the patron saint of the archbishopric, depicted in full episcopal vestments including mitre and cope, with right hand raised in blessing and left hand holding a pastoral attribute. The figure is rendered in a Gothic style within the inner beaded circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads SANCTVS RVDBERTVS EPISCOP, identifying the saint as bishop. The overall composition is typical of Salzburg ecclesiastical coinage of the early sixteenth century, with the saint's image serving as a devotional and heraldic emblem of the see.
