Obverse description Central field features the heraldic shield of the Teutonic Order, displaying a plain cross over a quartered eagle device, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in a Gothic heraldic style typical of 14th-century Prussian coinage. Surrounding the shield, a circular Latin legend in uncial characters reads: + MAGST WYnRICS PRImS, identifying the Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and strong relief of hammered medieval silver coinage.

Reverse description Central field displays the quartered cross shield of the Teutonic Order — a plain Greek cross dividing the escutcheon into four equal quarters — set within a beaded inner circle. This emblematic device is the standard heraldic symbol of the Order as Grand Masters of Prussia. The surrounding circular Latin legend in uncial characters reads: + MOnETA DnORVm PRVCI, translating as 'Money of the Lords of Prussia.' The overall design is consistent with the Schilling coinage struck under Winrich von Kniprode and follows established Teutonic Order monetary conventions.
