Comment
Allendorf mint ?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) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued during the reign of Louis II, who ruled the Landgraviate of Hessen from 1458 to 1471. This small detail provides a subtle yet interesting insight into the history and provenance of the coin.
