| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of the City of Worms: a divided escutcheon displaying a key in the upper half and a wheel or civic emblem in the lower half, rendered in bold relief typical of late medieval hammered coinage. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with a circular legend in uncial Gothic script running around the periphery of the coin. The overall design reflects the municipal heraldic tradition of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Virgin Mary seated, nursing or holding the Christ Child, a common devotional image on late medieval German municipal coinage. The figures are presented in a frontal or slightly three-quarter composition within a beaded inner circle, with rays or a glory surrounding the group. A circular legend in uncial Gothic script runs along the outer border of the flan. The style is characteristic of Rhenish hammered silver coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
