| Obverse description | Facing bust of the archbishop in high relief, wearing a mitre and liturgical vestments, rendered in a bold Romanesque style characteristic of late 12th-century Austrian coinage. The figure holds a crozier in the left hand and a book (Gospel) in the right, both attributes of episcopal authority. The portrait is frontal and schematic, with large almond-shaped eyes and a stylized beard, set against a flat, unadorned field. No legend is present. |

The design is symbolic of the city of Salzburg or its cathedral fortifications. The field is plain with no legend or exergual inscription. |
