Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1686 during the reign of Charles, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold that was 98.6% pure, which was a high level of purity for gold coins at that time. This indicates that the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel placed great value on the quality and craftsmanship of their coins, and it's a testament to the advanced minting techniques they had developed during that era.
