| Obverse description | A large cross pattée divides the field into four sectors, each containing alternating shields bearing the arms of Salzburg and the personal arms of Archbishop Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg. The design is contained within an inner circle, with the Latin legend divided into four segments by the arms of the cross. The inscription records the archbishop's title and the date of issue, distributed across the quadrants in a symmetrical arrangement characteristic of early sixteenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |
