Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, minted between 1741 and 1753, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Hesse-Darmstadt on one side, and the motto "Sit Nomen Domini Benedictum" (May the name of the Lord be blessed) on the other. This design was a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
