| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Saint Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, depicted in episcopal vestments in a hieratic, stylized Romanesque manner. The bust is rendered with bold, schematic features consistent with mid-eleventh-century German ecclesiastical die-cutting traditions. A circular legend surrounds the figure in the field, reading + S RVODBERTVS, identifying the saint. The overall composition is characteristic of Bavarian bishopric coinage of the Salian period. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Archbishop Balduin of Salzburg, whose episcopate fell squarely within the turbulent investiture disputes that would eventually explode into open conflict between Rome and the Salian emperors. Balduin navigated carefully — loyal enough to Henry III to retain his position, yet presiding over a mint whose output reflects the broader fragmentation of monetary authority in the German duchies during this period.
The Hahn and Kluge references place this squarely within the Radasbona/Karolingian typological sequence, situating Salzburg's mid-eleventh century coinage within a conservative die tradition that lagged stylistically behind contemporaneous Bavarian episcopal issues.
