A Gothic uncial legend encircles the entire design between the inner beaded border and the irregular coin edge, referencing the issuing count Louis I. |

Louis I ruled the partitioned county of Württemberg-Urach from 1419 until his death in 1450, a period marked by persistent monetary tension with the rival Württemberg-Stuttgart line. The schilling issues of this period were subject to repeated coinage agreements — Münzbünde — negotiated among Swabian territories attempting to standardize silver content against chronic debasement by smaller mints in the region.
The KR#11.3 reference places this among the Kluge-Raff die classifications for Württemberg coinage, a relatively specialized corpus. Surviving examples attributable specifically to the Urach line rather than Stuttgart can be difficult to separate without die study.
