| Reverse description | Five-line central inscription in the field displaying the denomination and date, surrounded by a circular Latin legend incorporating the mintmaster's initials. The inscription reads the fractional value as one-eighth Reichsthaler, with the date 1748 and the mintmaster's initials I·C·B appearing prominently. The outer legend references the issuing authority of the Landgraviate of Hesse and the coin's monetary standard. The composition is characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German territorial coinage, with crisp lettering in a well-centred layout. |
