| Reverse description | A swan displayed, wings raised and neck outstretched, standing atop a rectangular pedestal or block in the center of the field, serving as the dynastic device of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel. The bird is rendered with fine feather detail in a bold baroque style. The circumscribed Latin motto legend CANDIDE ET CONSTANTER — meaning 'Sincerely and Steadfastly' — surrounds the central device and reflects the personal motto of Landgrave Charles. The coin's outer border features a fine toothed or milled rim framing the entire composition. |
