Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states, including Hesse-Cassel, were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain their independence in the face of powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the Hesse-Cassel mint was able to produce high-quality coins like the 1 Goldgulden, which were widely used in trade and commerce.
