| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of Landgrave Frederick II of Hesse-Cassel, depicted with long, flowing hair tied at the nape in the fashionable style of the late 18th century. The portrait is rendered in high relief with finely engraved naturalistic detail, occupying the majority of the obverse field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading FRIDERICUS II D G HASS LAND G H C, denoting his title as Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel. The coin's outer border features a fine toothed or milled rim. The overall composition reflects the refined neoclassical engraving style prevalent in German princely coinage of the period. |
