| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylized lily (fleur-de-lis) depicted in high relief occupies the center of the field, its three petals and pointed lower lobe clearly rendered in the Gothic manner characteristic of late 14th-century German bracteate coinage. The initial letter V, referencing the issuing lord Ulrich, appears incorporated beneath the lily. The central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the irregular flan exhibiting the typical characteristics of hand-hammered medieval silver coinage. |

Ulrich II of Hohenlohe-Weikersheim issued these small bracteate-style pfennigs during a period when the southwestern German imperial nobility was asserting local minting rights with increasing aggression, often in direct tension with episcopal and municipal competitors nearby. The "Lilienpfennig" designation refers to the lily motif — a marker of dynastic identity used to distinguish Hohenlohe issues from the flood of near-identical pfennigs circulating through Franconia and the Tauber valley at the time.
At 0.23 g, these were already at the practical lower limit of silver coinage, and contemporary records from neighboring territories document persistent complaints about underweight pfennigs from small lordships being passed into regional markets.
