| Obverse description | Central crowned shield of arms bearing the Hessian lion rampant, the shield flanked on either side by foliate branches extending from base to crown. The composition is contained within a toothed or beaded border running along the coin's rim. The initials HD appear in the field, referencing the issuing authority of Hesse-Darmstadt. The overall design is rendered in a late 17th-century German heraldic style typical of small territorial coinage. |

| Reverse description | Four-line central inscription denoting the denomination and date, enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base. The text reads I / KREV / ZER followed by the date on the final line, all set against a plain field. The wreath is finely rendered with paired leaves and berries. A toothed border frames the entire design along the rim, consistent with the milled coinage practices of the period. |
