| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg: the upper left quarter displays a tower or castle motif (arms of Würzburg), while the upper right quarter shows crossed implements, likely the episcopal rake of Franconia. The lower quarters are similarly divided with heraldic elements. Decorative foliate or scrollwork flanks the shield on either side. Above the shield, the denomination inscription '•III•H•' appears in the field, with the date divided to the lower sides of the shield. The coin's milled border frames the design on the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely plain and devoid of any design, inscription, or decorative element, presenting a flat, featureless silver surface. This uniface-style reverse is characteristic of small-denomination Heller coinage produced by the Bishopric of Würzburg during the mid-eighteenth century. The blank field shows natural flow lines and minor die-preparation marks consistent with period minting practices. |
