Comment
In the secularisation of 1803 the Duchy of Westphalia became one of parts of Hesse-Darmstadt (together with Starkenburg and Upper Hessen).Interesting fact
The ¼ Stüber coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt (Hesse-Darmstadt, German States) made of Copper weighing 1.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Louis X, who was the last landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt before the territory was annexed by Napoleon's France in 1806. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during that time period and serves as a piece of history for numismatists and collectors.
