| Obverse description | Conjoined heraldic shields displaying the arms of the Bishopric of Bamberg and of the County of Wertheim, surmounted by a cross above; a Gothic letter N appears in the lower field. The composition is rendered in the compact, schematic style characteristic of late medieval German bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. |
