Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Albus - William II 1502 from Landgraviate of Hessen (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.41 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The early 16th century saw the rise of the Protestant Reformation, which had a significant impact on the Holy Roman Empire and its constituent states, including the Landgraviate of Hessen. The coin may have been used in transactions and trade during this time, and its design and symbolism may reflect the political and religious tensions of the era.
