| Obverse description | Central shield of the Teutonic Order bearing a long cross, superimposed upon a smaller inescutcheon charged with the Hohenzollern eagle. The composite shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with a four-line uncial legend arranged in the field surrounding the central device. The overall design is characteristic of late 15th-century Prussian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Grand Master's shield, charged with a plain long cross extending to the edges of the shield and dividing it into four quarters, set within a beaded inner circle. A four-line uncial monetary legend occupies the surrounding field, identifying this as the coinage of the lords of Prussia. The broad, unadorned shield and bold cross are hallmarks of Teutonic Order monetary iconography of the period. |
