| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by the interlaced royal cypher CL (Carolus Landgravius), surmounted by an elaborate electoral crown with arched bands and jewelled rim. The two digits of the date are divided by the monogram, with the first two numerals placed to the left and the final two numerals to the right of the cypher. The design is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style consistent with late 17th- to early 18th-century German Pfennig coinage. No peripheral legend; the entire surface is occupied by the crowned monogram and date. |

Charles I ruled Hesse-Cassel from 1670 until his death in 1730, and his reign coincided with the duchy's increasingly profitable trade in mercenary soldiers — a revenue stream that funded both his court ambitions and, indirectly, his coinage program. These tiny silver pfennig pieces were struck across a span of four decades, and the long production window accounts for considerable variation in die workmanship and planchet quality across the series.
At 0.30g, the silver content was largely nominal by this period, with the coins functioning more as accounting tokens than as bullion. Hoffmeister 1547 distinguishes several subvarieties within the type.
