| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large Gothic minuscule letter 'n', the initial of Nuremberg (Nürnberg), rendered in a bold, slightly irregular hand-hammered style. The letter is set plainly against an unadorned field with no surrounding legend or border, consistent with the minimalist design of late medieval German Heller coinage. |

| Reverse description | A bipartite heraldic shield bearing the impaled arms of Nuremberg — the Imperial eagle dimidiated with the Nuremberg bend — set over an anchor-ended cross whose arms extend to the irregular flan edge. The shield is rendered in the angular, hand-engraved style characteristic of late 15th-century hammered civic coinage, with no surrounding legend. |
