| Obverse description | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side within a beaded inner circle: the dexter shield bearing the Nuremberg eagle displayed, and the sinister shield bearing the imperial orb or city arms. The date appears in Arabic numerals in the upper field above the shields, and the mintmaster's initial 'N' is placed in the lower field below the shields. The design is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylized tree or palm rising from a base at centre, flanked by two crossed implements, all contained within a beaded inner circle. A Latin circular legend surrounds the central device, reading between the inner circle and the outer beaded border. The composition is characteristic of Nuremberg's republican civic iconography as employed on its small silver circulation coinage of this period. |
