The eagle's wings are outstretched and its head faces to the right, with the cross positioned beneath the body. The design occupies the full field of the irregular hammered flan, with surfaces showing characteristic die wear. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nuremberg's heller coinage of the 1430s was produced during a period of intense commercial rivalry between the city and the surrounding Hohenzollern-controlled territories, with the free imperial city fiercely guarding its minting rights as a marker of jurisdictional independence from both the margraviate and the imperial court. At 0.26 g, these pieces were among the smallest silver denominations in active circulation, passing through the hands of market traders daily at the city's famous Hauptmarkt.
The Kelln and Erlangen collection references suggest surviving examples are primarily known through hoards rather than wear series — not surprising given how quickly such fractions were lost or melted.
