| Reverse description | A floriated or voided cross with ornamental floral terminals centered within a prominent quatrefoil frame, itself set against a plain field and enclosed by a beaded inner border. The four lobes of the quatrefoil display the characteristic Gothic trefoil leaf decoration. A circular uncial legend runs along the outer margin, separated from the quatrefoil by a beaded border. The design is typical of mid-15th century Swabian schilling coinage. |

| Additional information |
Louis I ruled Württemberg-Urach following the 1442 partition that split the county between the Urach and Stuttgart lines — a division that would persist, contentiously, until the Treaty of Münsingen reunified Württemberg in 1482. Coinage from the Urach branch during this period is notably scarcer than Stuttgart issues, reflecting the smaller territorial and economic base Louis commanded after the split.
KR#8 designates this within the Kluge-Renner reference for southwest German medieval coinage. The schilling denomination served regional trade in the upper Swabian zone throughout the fifteenth century.
