| Obverse description | The obverse displays two conjoined heraldic shields arranged side by side: the imperial eagle of the Holy Roman Empire on the left and the arms of Nuremberg (a diagonal bend) on the right, together forming the civic coat of arms of the Free Imperial City. The date appears in the upper field, arched above the shields, with the mint initial 'N' placed below in the lower field. The design is rendered in the bold, unrefined style characteristic of early seventeenth-century hammered billon coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears no distinct pictorial design, consistent with many small hammered billon Pfennig issues of Nuremberg of this period, where the obverse die impression often fully dominates both faces of the thin flan. The surface shows the flat, irregular texture typical of hammer-struck coinage on a thin billon planchet. |
