Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guter Pfennig - Frederick II 1783 coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" (for Frederick) above the crown on the obverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued during the reign of Frederick II, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1760 to 1785. This subtle detail provides a distinctive characteristic that sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same time period.
