Interesting fact
The ⅛ Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was the first king of Sweden to also rule Hesse-Cassel. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured a new standardized design, which was meant to simplify currency exchange and commerce across the region. The coin's design featured the king's portrait on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a brief period of time when Hesse-Cassel was an independent state before it was annexed by Prussia in 1866.
