| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized Gothic letter or monogram, likely an ornamental initial associated with the issuing lords, surrounded by five small six-pointed stars arranged around the central device. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, characteristic of hammered medieval bracteate-style small coinage. The entire design is rendered in low relief typical of late 14th-century south German pfennig coinage. |

| Additional information |
Hohenlohe-Weikersheim's joint coinage under Ulrich and Frederick reflects a period when the Hohenlohe dynasty was actively partitioning and re-consolidating territorial rights across Franconia. Co-issued lordship coinage of this kind — two rulers sharing a single emission — typically arose from inheritance arrangements that left authority legally undivided, requiring both names on the issue to satisfy feudal obligations to both lines.
The decade-long span of this emission, 1382–1392, suggests it was struck across multiple die pairs rather than a single production run.
