| Obverse description | Central field features the archiepiscopal arms displayed within an elaborately ornate oval shield, surmounted by a galero with tassels and the full bishop's regalia. Above the shield, a radiant triangle — symbolizing the Holy Trinity — emits rays into the surrounding field. The entire composition is enclosed within an ornate inner circle, with the lengthy dedicatory Latin legend distributed across the field in multiple registers, commemorating Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg and the eleven-hundredth anniversary of the Archbishopric of Salzburg. |

| Reverse description | Four standing saintly figures are depicted in a processional arrangement, accompanied by a goose at the lower left — an iconographic attribute associated with St. Martin of Tours. Rays of sunlight break through clouds in the upper field, lending a celestial quality to the scene. The figures represent Saints Martin (bishop), Vincent (martyr), Hermes (martyr), and Chrysanthus and Daria (martyrs), whose names and titles appear in the surrounding legend, referencing their translation of relics. |
