| Obverse description | Quartered shield bearing the Hohenzollern arms (semy of bezants) on the breast of the Brandenburg eagle displayed, set within a cross-pattée frame dividing the field into four sections. A circular legend in Gothic uncial letters surrounds the central device, citing the titles of Grand Master Albrecht of Brandenburg. The overall design is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Germanic hammered coinage, with bold relief and a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The arms of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order — the Order's black cross charged with the Imperial eagle — displayed prominently at centre, enclosed within a quatrefoil or cross-pattée frame. The date appears in the outer margin, rendered in Gothic numerals, with a circular Gothic uncial legend surrounding the shield. The style is consistent with Königsberg mint production of the early sixteenth century, with characteristic late-Gothic lettering and beaded border. |
