| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the crowned arms of Hesse-Darmstadt: a vertically striped shield bearing a rampant lion passant, surmounted by an elaborate grand ducal crown with visible arches and jewelled band. The shield is rendered in fine line engraving with horizontal striations in the field. The circular legend GROSSHERZOGTHUM HESSEN runs along the upper and lateral periphery in raised Latin letters, bordered on the outer rim by a continuous dentilated edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1848 start date on this series is not coincidental. Louis III ascended in June of that year, the same month Frankfurt's liberal parliament was convening just forty kilometers away. Hesse-Darmstadt's small billon fractional coinage continued largely uninterrupted through the revolutionary period — the Grand Duchy's government made enough concessions to avoid the worst of the unrest without losing administrative continuity.
Billon at .350 fine was already scraping the lower boundary of what contemporaries considered silver coinage rather than copper.
