| Obverse description | Centrally positioned shield bearing the quartered arms of the House of Hohenzollern (Zollern), consisting of a divided field with a horizontal bar, flanked on either side by a small rosette in the field. The design is rendered in the typical crude, flat relief characteristic of late medieval hammered bracteate-style pfennigs. |

| Additional information |
The Burgraviate of Nuremberg was already a fading political entity by the time these were struck — the Hohenzollern burgraves had been selling off rights and territories to the city of Nuremberg for decades, and Frederick VI would transfer the remaining core of the burgravial authority to Brandenburg in 1415, effectively ending the institution. This coin sits at the twilight of that process, issued jointly in the names of two rulers governing a domain already in managed dissolution.
