| Obverse description | Bust of a crowned or helmeted figure facing left in high relief, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of 13th-century German bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The figure displays striated hair or a crested helmet with detailed incised lines, and appears to hold a sceptre or sword before the body. The surrounding field is plain, and the flan edge is irregularly shaped, consistent with hand-cut hammered production. |

| Reverse description | A stylised architectural or heraldic motif in high relief, likely representing a fortified tower or eagle displayed, consistent with the imperial Nuremberg civic imagery of the mid-13th century. The design features bold geometric and foliate elements arranged symmetrically within the irregular flan. The composition is characteristic of the Nuremberg bracteate-style pfennig tradition, with deeply struck detail and a plain surrounding field. No legible legend is present, as was typical for issues of this type and period. |
