| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Nuremberg — a half eagle displayed — flanked by decorative branches. The denomination in Pfennig and the date are inscribed above the shield, with the mintmaster's initial appearing between the date numerals. The design is rendered in a simple, utilitarian style typical of late-period Free Imperial City coinage. |

| Additional information |
Nuremberg lost its status as a Free Imperial City in 1806 when Napoleon's reorganization of German territories transferred it to the Kingdom of Bavaria — making this small billon piece one of the last coinages struck under the city's centuries-old municipal minting authority. The date range closes precisely with that annexation.
