| Obverse description | Within a trilobe (trefoil) frame, the arms of Salzburg are displayed in the upper lobe, with the impaled arms of the Archbishop and Bavaria occupying the two lower lobes. The heraldic composition is rendered in a simple, flat hammered style typical of small denominational coinage of the period. The date of issue appears in the field below the trilobe. The overall design is characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century episcopal mint production in the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is uniface and entirely blank, with no design, legend, or device struck. The plain flan shows the natural surface of the hammered silver planchet, with irregular edges consistent with hand-struck coinage of the period. This uniface treatment was a common economy measure for small-denomination pfennig-series coins issued by the Salzburg mint. |
