Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, minted between 1784 and 1790, features an image of Louis IX, also known as Louis the Great, on its obverse side. Louis IX was a highly respected and influential ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, known for his military campaigns and his role in shaping the political and economic landscape of Europe during his reign. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of significant political and social change in Europe, with the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte taking place just a few decades later.
