| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Landgrave Moritz facing slightly right, depicted in three-quarter view wearing plate armor, holding a battle axe over his right shoulder and a helmet cradled in his left arm. The figure is rendered in the elaborate late Renaissance style typical of German princely portraiture. The circumferential legend in Latin identifies the issuer by name and title. |

| Reverse description | Quartered heraldic shield displaying the four-fold arms of Hesse-Cassel with an inescutcheon of Hesse at center, surmounted by three ornate crested helms with elaborate mantling rendered in the German Renaissance tradition. The regnal date appears in the upper margin of the legend, divided across the inscription. The composition follows the standard princely armorial format of late 16th-century German thalers. |
