| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg, featuring a lion passant in the sinister quarters. A partial legend is visible along the upper periphery within a beaded border. The die-struck design is characteristic of the Friesach pfennig tradition, with high relief on a thin, irregularly planchet. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in high relief, depicted wearing pontifical vestments with a mitre, set within a double pearl border enclosing a decorative band of stylized lilies. The figure faces the viewer directly, with facial features rendered in the simplified Romanesque manner typical of Austrian ecclesiastical bracteate-influenced coinage of the late 13th century. The surrounding ornamental lily frieze between the two concentric pearl circles lends the design a distinctive liturgical character. |
