Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis) above the crown on the obverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design during Louis II's reign and was meant to symbolize his leadership and authority.
