| Obverse description | A detailed hunting scene occupies the field, depicting a mounted hunter on horseback accompanied by a hound in the foreground, pursuing a running stag positioned to the right amid naturalistic landscape elements including trees and foliage. The legend DAIO is inscribed in Roman capitals along the upper arc of the coin. The composition is rendered in fine relief with careful attention to the figures of horse, rider, dog, and quarry, reflecting the aristocratic hunting culture of the Hessian court. The overall style is characteristic of mid-18th century German baroque medallic art. |
