| Obverse description | Quartered heraldic shield displaying the arms of Hanau-Münzenberg, surmounted by an elaborate crowned helmet with mantling. The composite arms incorporate multiple quarterings, including diagonal bars, horizontal stripes, and a central inescutcheon. The shield is encircled by a beaded inner ring, with the legend running along the outer border of the coin. The overall design is rendered in the baroque heraldic style typical of late 17th-century German territorial coinage. |

| Reverse description | Four-line central inscription occupying the field, stating the denomination and date, with the mintmaster's initials below. The text references the decision of the five estates (V. Stände) as the monetary authority for the issue. The inscription is arranged in a tabular format without a surrounding wreath or cartouche, in the plain typographic style common to small German billon coins of the period. |
