Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.25 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1627, during the reign of William V, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1627 to 1637. This was a period of great upheaval in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place during this time. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political changes that were occurring during this time, and it is a fascinating piece of history that has survived to this day.
