| Obverse description | Crowned helmet surmounted by a pair of buffalo horns as crest, with the shielded arms of the Bishopric of Bamberg displayed in the field between the horns. The helmet is rendered in profile, with visible visor detail typical of late medieval hammered coinage. A beaded or rope-like inner border frames the central device, with a circular legend in Latin occupying the outer field. |

| Reverse description | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side, suspended from a shared ribbon at the top, representing the arms of Zollern and Würzburg respectively. The letter 'S', serving as an abbreviation for 'Schilling', appears in the lower field beneath the shields. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with a Latin circular legend in the outer field, consistent with late medieval episcopal coinage of the Franconian region. |
