Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5 g 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 gold coins like the 1 Goldgulden, which were widely used in trade and commerce. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Hesse-Cassel during a difficult period in history.
