| Obverse description | Central field displays the heraldic shield of the Teutonic Order: a pointed escutcheon bearing a large black cross overlaid with a smaller cross and an eagle displayed in the upper quarter, rendered in relief characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. A Gothic legend in uncial lettering encircles the design within the outer border, separated from the central device by the beaded ring. The overall style reflects the Gothic heraldic conventions of late 14th-century Prussian monetary production. |

| Additional information |
Conrad of Jungingen served as Grand Master from 1393 to 1407, a period of relative administrative consolidation for the Order's Prussian territories before his brother Ulrich led the catastrophic defeat at Grunwald in 1410. The Teutonic Order operated its own mint at Thorn and struck schillings as part of a monetized economy built around grain export, amber trade, and the provisioning of crusading campaigns that had, by this date, largely lost their original theological justification.
Conrad died in office in 1407, three years before the battle that effectively broke Teutonic power in the region.
