Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Germany. The early 19th century saw the abolition of the old feudal system and the rise of capitalism, which led to the introduction of new coinage systems and the phasing out of older currencies. The ⅓ Thaler coin, which was minted from 1822-1829, represents a transitional period in German monetary history, as it was one of the last coins to be minted under the old system before the introduction of the new German Empire currency in 1871.
