Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Hesse is that it features a rare double portrait of both William II and Frederick William, who were co-regents of the region from 1832 to 1835. This unique design was only used on coins minted during their joint reign, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
