| Obverse description | Central field displays an ornate interlaced script cypher 'LL' surmounted by a princely crown, all rendered in elegant calligraphic style. The legend 'HESSEN DARMST' arcs across the upper portion of the coin within a beaded border. The monogram occupies the majority of the flan, with the intertwined letters forming a decorative device characteristic of German baroque coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
