| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned Hohenzollern eagle displayed, its wings spread, superimposed over an ornate heraldic shield bearing the Brandenburg arms. The eagle is rendered in the late Gothic style characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century German coinage, with elaborate feather detailing. Surrounding the central device is a circular Latin legend, partially legible, running along the coin's inner border. The overall design reflects the hammered technique with characteristic irregular planchet edges. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large, boldly struck Imperial eagle displayed with spread wings, rendered in the Gothic heraldic style typical of Franconian coinage of the 1460s–1470s. The eagle's breast bears a shield with the Hohenzollern quartered arms. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, running close to the beaded inner border. The coin exhibits typical characteristics of hammered silver coinage, with slightly uneven strike and irregular flan edges. |
