| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Großherzoglich Hessische Staatsschulden-Tilgungskasse-Direction — the Grand Duchy of Hesse's debt redemption authority — was an unusual note issuer by any standard. Notes issued through a debt management body rather than a conventional bank of issue reflect the fragmented monetary arrangements that persisted across the German states before unification. Hesse-Darmstadt maintained this institutional structure while simultaneously participating in the broader currency conventions of the Zollverein era.
Giesecke & Devrient had only recently established themselves as a major security printer by the mid-1860s, with the Leipzig operation handling much of the smaller German state work that Frankfurt and Berlin presses couldn't absorb. The guilloche underprint here is early evidence of the firm's investment in mechanical rose-engine equipment that would later define their reputation.
