Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Kreuzer coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1801-1802, just a few years before the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on the economy and currency systems of many European countries. Despite these challenges, the ¼ Kreuzer coin remained a widely used denomination in the region and is still highly sought after by collectors today.
