| Beschrijving keerzijde | The numeral '4' appears prominently at the top of a central oval cartouche, above the two-line legend KREU / ZER, with the mint-master's initials E.C.F. inscribed below in the lower portion of the cartouche. The cartouche is surmounted by a decorative foliate crown and flanked by scrolling ornamental foliage. The circular legend LAND MUNZ runs along the outer border, split to either side of the design. The date 1759 is engraved in the exergue below the cartouche, completing the reverse composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hanau-Lichtenberg's coinage authority in 1759 was exercised under Landgrave Louis IX, who would later gain far greater historical notoriety as the principal supplier of Hessian troops to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War — a transaction that netted him enormous revenue but blackened his reputation for generations. The county's small silver issues of this period reflect a functioning if modest fiscal apparatus, still operating independently before the pressures of the Seven Years' War fully reorganized the political economy of the minor German states.
