Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Amalia Elisabeth, the wife of Landgrave William V of Hesse-Cassel, in 1651. The coin's design features an image of Amalia Elisabeth on one side and an image of William V on the other, surrounded by ornate engravings and inscriptions. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in historical coins.
