| Obverse description | The rampant lion of Hesse, facing left, occupies the central field without a surrounding legend. The beast is depicted with forepaws raised, tail curled upward, and a crown above its head, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of early eighteenth-century German small copper coinage. The field is plain, with no exergue or border inscription. |

| Reverse description | A five-line denomination inscription in raised capital letters fills the entire central field, reading '1 / HELLER / SCHEIDE / MVNTZ / 1723', flanked on the first line by two rosette or flower ornaments serving as decorative stops. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, occupying the full width of the flan, with no surrounding border legend. The use of 'SCHEIDE MVNTZ' (small change money) identifies the coin's subsidiary monetary status within the Hesse-Cassel currency system. |
