Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Silver weighing 0.25g is that it was minted during the reign of William VII, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1663 until his death in 1670. During his reign, William VII oversaw the introduction of a new coinage system, which included the production of this 1 Pfennig coin. The coin's design features the Landgrave's crowned coat of arms on the obverse, and the reverse bears the denomination and the date of minting. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Hesse-Cassel and its coinage.
