Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Mattier - William VI 1656-1659 from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Silver weighing 0.286 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Second Northern War (1655-1660). This conflict involved many European powers, including Sweden, Poland, and the Holy Roman Empire, and it had a significant impact on the political and economic landscape of the region. Despite the challenges posed by the war, the minting of this coin suggests that the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel was able to maintain some level of economic stability and continuity during this period.
