| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the rampant Hessian lion, depicted with raised forepaws and striped body in the traditional heraldic style, set within a Spanish-style escutcheon. The date appears prominently above the shield within the inner field. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend running continuously around the outer periphery. |

| Reverse description | A willow tree, its branches bent dramatically by a violent storm, occupies the central field, with flames visible at the base and rays of divine light breaking through storm clouds above — a powerful emblem of humility and divine providence associated with Landgrave William V. The motif references the personal device of the issuer. A beaded inner border encloses the design, with the Latin devotional legend encircling the field. Above the tree, the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (YHWH) is visible in the upper field. |
