| Obverse description | A ten-petalled flower occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding the circle, alternating fleurs-de-lis and small stars are arranged in a decorative border, typical of the ornamental style associated with Hohenstaufen-period bracteate and denier coinage. The design is rendered in low relief consistent with hammered technique, with the irregular flan edges characteristic of medieval Nuremberg mint production. |

| Reverse description | Two heraldic lions passant are depicted above a displayed eagle, forming a composite armorial device associated with the imperial authority of Frederick II and the civic symbolism of Nuremberg. The figures are rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of early 13th-century German bracteate and denier coinage, with limited fine detail due to the hammered technique and small flan size. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or border inscription. |
