| Obverse description | Central field features the coat-of-arms of Weinsberg — a hand — displayed on a shield set within a Gothic trilobe (trefoil) frame, rendered in the late medieval heraldic style. The trilobe is ornamented with cusped lobes and a small finial at the apex. Double annulet stops punctuate the surrounding circumferential legend. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular Latin legend running between the beaded border and the coin's irregular rim. |

| Reverse description | A displayed imperial eagle facing forward with head turned to the left, its wings spread dramatically in the late Gothic style, rendered with fine feather detail across the spread pinions. The eagle's body and wings fill the majority of the reverse field, conveying imperial authority. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the encircling Latin mint legend, which includes the date 1499 and identifies the Nördlingen mint. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hammered coinage of the period. |
