Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the ruler of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted to standardize currency across the various regions of Prussia, and it features an image of Frederick II on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other.
