| Obverse description | The obverse is arranged symmetrically with two oval intaglio vignettes flanking the central text field: at left, a classical female portrait bust wreathed in foliage, and at right, an allegorical group with a seated female figure and children suggestive of industry or prosperity. The Hessian grand-ducal coat of arms with supporters is engraved at the top centre beneath the heading "GROSSHERZOGTHUM HESSEN", with numeral "1" medallions at the upper corners set within guilloche rosettes. The denomination "Ein Gulden" is printed in large ornate script at the centre, above several lines of Gothic text detailing the legal basis and issuing authority, with "Litera I" at lower left and the serial number at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue-grey on a fine repetitive guilloche underprint in warm brown covering the entire field. A large central cartouche of elaborate Baroque scrollwork frames the denomination "EIN GULDEN" in bold serif capitals within an inner panel, surmounted by the text "Grossherzogthum HESSEN" beneath a small crown device. A manuscript signature appears below the denomination panel. The overall design relies entirely on the ornamental cartouche and background guilloche pattern, with no figurative vignette. |
