| Obverse description | A central cross pattée divides the inner field into four quarters, each cantoned with an initial letter forming the abbreviated inscription E-P-S-S, referencing the archbishop's title. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the archiepiscopal legend disposed around the outer field. The hammered flan exhibits the characteristic irregular roundness of early medieval Germanic coinage, with bold lettering in the Carolingian epigraphic tradition. |

| Reverse description | A stylized tetrastyle temple or church facade is depicted in the center, rendered in the flat, schematic manner typical of Ottonian-era ecclesiastical coinage, with three bezants or pellets arranged in a heart-shaped or triangular grouping within the pediment. The structure rests on a stepped base and is surmounted by a cross finial. The legend of the patron saint encircles the design within a beaded border, affirming the religious patronage of the Salzburg mint. |
