Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted between 1790 and 1802, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a ribbon with the motto "Fidelitas et Constans" (Faithfulness and Constancy). This design was used on many coins of the time, but the specific combination of elements and the level of detail in the engraving make this coin stand out. Additionally, the use of silver as the material for the coin adds to its value and historical significance.
