| Obverse description | Central field depicts a frontal standing ecclesiastical figure, identified as the archbishop, robed in liturgical vestments and flanked by two smaller standing figures, possibly attendants or saints. A prominent patriarchal or processional cross rises above the central group, dominating the upper field. The composition is rendered in low relief in the medieval Romanesque style typical of mid-13th century Austrian bracteate-related coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered silver pfennigs of this period. No legible inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a single large seated or crouching figure, rendered in low relief, holding what appears to be a crozier or staff in one hand, consistent with an episcopal or saintly representation. The figure is depicted in a naturalistic yet stylized medieval manner, set against a plain, unadorned field. The flan edges are notably irregular, reflecting the hand-struck hammered technique employed at the Salzburg mint during this period. The design is incuse or weakly struck in areas due to the nature of the thin silver flan. No legend or inscription is discernible. |
