Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.49 g is that it was minted during the reign of William VIII, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1751 to 1754. During his reign, he implemented several reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the Landgrave's portrait on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
