Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Kreuzer - Louis VIII (gold pattern strike) 1746 from Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis VIII, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt from 1739 until his death in 1768. During his reign, Louis VIII implemented a number of economic and political reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The gold pattern strike of the Kreuzer coin was a part of this effort, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
