Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Albus / 12 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Landgrave Maurice of Hesse-Cassel, who ruled from 1622 to 1624. During this period, the Thirty Years War was raging across the continent, leading to widespread economic disruption and currency fluctuations. Despite these challenges, the Hesse-Cassel mint continued to produce high-quality coins like the 1 Albus / 12 Heller, which were used for everyday transactions and trade.
