Obverse description	Upper half of a displayed eagle occupying the upper field, its wings spread and head turned, positioned above a horizontal bar dividing the design. Below the bar, two heraldic shields are placed side by side: the dexter shield bearing the imperial eagle of Nuremberg and the sinister shield displaying a lion passant, representing the city's civic arms. The design is executed in bold relief characteristic of late medieval hammered coinage.
