| Reverse description | The rampant Hessian lion occupies the central field, depicted passant-rampant with its characteristic striped body and curling tail, rendered in the heraldic style typical of late 17th-century German coinage. To the right of the lion the denomination numeral appears in the field. The mint official's initials are present in the lower exergue beneath the lion. A Latin legend encircles the design along the periphery. |
