Interesting fact
The Landgraviate of Hessen (German States) coin, 1 Albus - Philip 1510, made of Silver, features an image of a lion on its obverse side. The lion is depicted standing on its hind legs, with its front paws resting on a shield that bears the coat of arms of the House of Hesse. This image symbolizes the power and strength of the ruling family, and it's a common motif in the heraldry of many German states during that time period.
