| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylized six-petalled flower or rosette motif occupies the central field, enclosed within a plain raised inner circle. The surrounding annular field is decorated with a ring of large pellets or globules arranged equidistantly, forming a beaded border. The overall design is characteristic of the late 17th-century hammered copper coinage of the minor German states, with an irregularly shaped flan and no legible legend. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a heavily worn and poorly struck design, likely bearing the Solms arms or a heraldic device, rendered in low relief on an irregular copper flan. The strike quality is poor and the surface is heavily patinated with green copper corrosion, rendering specific design elements largely indistinct. A faint suggestion of a cross or cruciform charge may be discerned in the upper central field. No legend is legible. The flan shows characteristic clipping and irregular edges typical of hammered minor coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Louis (Johann Ludwig) ruled Solms-Hohensolms during a period when the county's coinage rights were perpetually contested — the fragmented Solms family had divided and subdivided the county so many times across the seventeenth century that determining which branch held legitimate mint authority at any given moment was genuinely complicated. This piece, struck sometime across a twenty-year window, reflects exactly that ambiguity.
