| Obverse description | Crowned oval escutcheon bearing the quartered arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg impaled with the personal arms of Archbishop Hieronymus von Colloredo, surmounted by an archiepiscopal cross above the crown. A crozier and sword are crossed saltire-wise behind the shield, symbolizing ecclesiastical and temporal authority. A laurel or olive wreath frames the lower portion of the shield in the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an inverted brockage of the obverse design, displaying a mirror image of the crowned oval escutcheon with the archiepiscopal arms, cross, crossed crozier and sword, and wreath, struck incuse as a result of a planchet being fed into the press while the previous coin remained adhered to the upper die. This error type is consistent with milled coinage production of the late eighteenth century. |
