| Obverse description | Displayed imperial eagle with spread wings occupies the central field, bearing a shield on its breast charged with the letter 'N' within a square, identifying Nuremberg as the issuing authority. The eagle is rendered in the bold, stylized Gothic manner typical of late 15th-century German municipal coinage. A circular legend in Gothic uncial letters runs along the coin's periphery, enclosed between beaded inner and outer borders. The hammered flan produces a characteristically irregular outline, with slight surface undulation visible across the field. |

| Reverse description | A full-length, facing figure of St. Lawrence, patron saint of Nuremberg, stands in the central field rendered in a formal Gothic style. The saint is depicted wearing ecclesiastical vestments, holding a palm frond in one hand and a gridiron — the instrument of his martyrdom — in the other. A nimbus surrounds his head, and the figure is framed by a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circular legend in Gothic uncial letters names the saint, separated by a break at the lower field, consistent with the Rhenish goldgulden tradition. |
