| Obverse description | The obverse displays the elaborately quartered crowned coat of arms of Hesse-Cassel, featuring multiple heraldic divisions including lions, stripes, and crosses, encircled by a decorative wreath of oak leaves and acorns. A royal crown surmounts the shield at the apex, while a standing lion in the base lozenge serves as the central escutcheon. The heraldic composition is rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The circular legend, reading in Latin, names both the ruling Elector William II and the co-regent Crown Prince Frederick William, separated by dots. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
