Comment
Occurs with and without the dot after the year. The version without dot also occurs with "L.R." and "L.R"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was a prominent figure in the history of Hesse-Cassel. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the state's administration and economy. The coin's design, which features an image of Frederick I on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other, reflects the importance of the ruling family and the state's identity during this time period.
