Interesting fact

The 1 Kronenthaler coin from the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt features an interesting design element - the portrait of Louis II, the ruler after whom the coin is named, is depicted facing to the left, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of rulers facing to the right on coins. This design choice was seen as a symbol of Louis II's unconventional and progressive reign.
