| Obverse description | Facing bust of an archbishop rendered in a primitive Romanesque style, depicted with a mitre or ecclesiastical headdress, occupying the central field. The facial features are summarily struck, with large eyes and a broad nose characteristic of 12th-century hammered coinage. A small patriarchal or processional cross appears to the right of the bust. The irregular flan and weak areas of strike are typical of mid-12th-century Salzburg pfennigs. |

| Reverse description | Depiction of a Romanesque church or cathedral façade in full face, rendered schematically with a central nave flanked by two towers, each surmounted by a cross. The architectural composition is executed in a bold, stylised manner consistent with 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. A row of pellets or beading forms a decorative register below the structure. The legend naming Saint Rupert, patron of Salzburg, runs around the periphery of the coin. |
