| Obverse description | Two heraldic shields placed side by side in the field, surmounted by an episcopal mitre; a crossed pastoral staff and crosier appear in saltire behind the arms. The circumferential Latin legend names the issuer as Johann Jakob, by the grace of God Archbishop of Salzburg, Apostolic Legate, with the date 1561 incorporated into the inscription. |

| Reverse description | Saint Rupert, patron of Salzburg, depicted enthroned and facing forward, vested in full episcopal robes and wearing a mitre; he holds a crosier in his right hand and a salt vessel (ruef) in his left, symbolizing his legendary role in the salt trade of Salzburg. The figure is rendered in a bold, late-Renaissance hammered style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century South German die-cutting. A circular Latin legend surrounding the central device identifies the saint as Bishop of Salzburg. |
