Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer - Louis IX 1759 coin from County of Hanau-Lichtenberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "L" and "H" on either side of the crown, which stands for the Latin phrase "Ludovicus IX Hanauensis" (Louis IX of Hanau). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that Louis IX was the ruler of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German States.
