| Obverse description | Central field divided into four quarters by a plain cross, each quarter bearing a rampant lion passant representing the arms of Brandenburg-Franconia. The date 1514 appears within the legend at the top of the coin. A beaded inner border separates the quartered shield from the circumferential legend. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval German hammered silver coinage, with the heraldic charges rendered in a bold, stylized Gothic manner. |

| Reverse description | A large Imperial eagle displayed dominates the central field, its wings spread and head turned to the right, with a small escutcheon bearing the Hohenzollern arms on its breast. The eagle is rendered in the characteristic late Gothic style of early sixteenth-century Franconian minting. A beaded inner border frames the central device, with the circumferential legend running between the inner and outer borders. The coin is struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered production at the Schwabach mint. |
