| Obverse description | Quartered coat of arms of Hanau-Lichtenberg, bearing the heraldic charges of the county's constituent territories, surmounted by an elaborate crown. The shield is flanked on either side by decorative foliate or laurel branches, forming a wreath-like border around the central armorial device. The date numerals appear within the field alongside the arms. The design is executed in a bold relief typical of mid-17th century German minor coinage. |

| Reverse description | An imperial orb (Reichsapfel) appears at the top center of the field, serving as the denominational indicator, above a six-line inscription set within a laurel wreath that encircles the entire reverse. The lettering reads the territorial name of Hanau-Lichtenberg along with the denomination designation '2 K', all arranged in a compact, stacked format consistent with small-denomination German Kreuzer coinage of the period. |
