| Reverse description | Elaborately engraved quartered coat of arms of Hanau-Münzenberg, supported on either side by rampant lions as heraldic supporters, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield displays multiple heraldic quarterings incorporating the arms of the associated territories. Below the shield, decorative mantling and foliate ornaments fill the field. The date 1771 appears in the right portion of the legend, and the mint-master initials CLR are visible in the exergue area below the shield. The circular legend references the Bieber mine as the source of the silver, while the lower legend states the coin's fineness standard of ten to the fine mark. |
