| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of a standing bishop in liturgical vestments, his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand grasping a cross-staff from which a narrow processional banner depends. The effigy is rendered in the flat, linear style characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. A two-line circular legend in Latin script frames the design in the outer border, though the inscription is partially illegible on most known specimens. |

| Reverse description | Bust of a bishop depicted frontally with both hands raised in an orant or supportive posture, upholding a rounded archway or arcade beneath which the figure is set. A small tower or turret rises on each side of the arch, likely representing the cathedral or a city gate, symbolic of ecclesiastical authority over Salzburg. Two concentric circular lines define the inner and outer border of the design field. The style is consistent with early 13th-century South German hammered silver pfennigs of the Salzburg archiepiscopal series. |
