| Obverse description | The crowned civic arms of Nuremberg occupy the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a demi-eagle and diagonal bend, supported by elaborate acanthus-leaf mantling on either side. The shield is surmounted by a municipal mural crown rendered in fine detail. The date 1700 appears in the lower field beneath the arms, flanked by the mintmaster's initials GFN. The circular Latin legend MON REIP NORIM 1700 runs around the periphery, separated by dot stops, within a finely milled border. |

| Reverse description | The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) is depicted standing atop a rocky mound, facing left, with its foreleg raised and supporting a tall staff from which flies a banner bearing a cross. The reverse field is plain and unlettered, with the devotional image rendered in detailed relief. The entire design is enclosed within a milled border consistent with the obverse. This Paschal Lamb motif was a traditional emblem associated with Nuremberg's civic and religious identity. |
