| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the four-fold quartered arms of Hanau and Lichtenberg, set within a Spanish-style escutcheon that breaks the inner circle at the base. Two elaborately mantled and crested helmets rise above the shield as crests. The composition is rendered in the late Renaissance heraldic style typical of German small coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire device within the coin's border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip V of Hanau-Lichtenberg was a committed Calvinist who formally introduced Reformed doctrine into his territory in the 1590s, making him an outlier among the small Rhenish counts of the period. The 1599 date places this issue squarely within his consolidation of confessional and administrative authority — a moment when even small-denomination billon coinage served the practical need of a reforming court asserting local fiscal independence from larger neighbors.
The E&L reference distinguishes two die variants for this type, catalogued as 18 and 19.
