Comment
Some coins dated 1806 don't have dots in HD LM (Jaeg 2 FH# 3b).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis I, who was the first Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt and ruled from 1806 to 1807. This was a period of significant political upheaval, as the Holy Roman Empire had recently been dissolved and many German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the 1 Kreuzer coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
