Central field features a Gothic quatrefoil frame enclosing the Nuremberg city arms — a divided shield displaying the imperial eagle above and a diagonal bar below — surmounted by a small cross or orb finial. The composition is rendered in a flat, relief-hammered style typical of mid-15th century German municipal coinage. A circular beaded border frames the design, with a Latin legend running along the outer edge of the coin. |

The reverse displays a large, spread-winged imperial eagle facing forward, rendered in bold hammered relief characteristic of Nuremberg civic coinage of the mid-15th century. The eagle's wings are spread wide filling the central field, with detailed feather work visible on the plumage. A circular beaded inner border surrounds the design, with a Latin circumscription legend running along the outer rim of the flan. |

Nuremberg's status as a Free Imperial City gave its magistrates the right to mint independently of any territorial prince — a privilege jealously guarded and periodically contested. These schillings fall within the municipal coinage reforms of the mid-fifteenth century, when Nuremberg's council was actively standardizing its silver issues to facilitate trade along the major south-German commercial routes connecting the city to Frankfurt, Augsburg, and beyond. The city's mint was among the most administratively sophisticated in the empire at this period.
The three-year window of issue reflects a specific authorization rather than a continuous series — municipal minting rights were typically granted or renewed in discrete episodes tied to council decisions or imperial confirmations.
