Obverse description Saint Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg, stands facing in full figure behind a quartered heraldic shield, holding a crozier in his right hand and a salt box in his left. The shield bears the arms of the Salzburg Archbishopric in quarters one and four, and the Raitenau family arms in quarters two and three. The initials S and R flank the shield in the field to either side. A beaded inner circle borders the surrounding legend, which incorporates the date.

Reverse description A double-headed crowned imperial eagle is displayed in the center, its wings spread and both heads crowned. An orb bearing the numeral 10, denoting the coin's value in Kreuzer, is placed upon the eagle's breast. A plain inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding Latin legend invoking Emperor Rudolf II. The composition follows the standard imperial-style reverse design employed on Salzburg subsidiary coinage of this period.
