Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Teston coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg is that it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a lion's head, which was a symbol of the county's ruling family, the House of Hanau. This design was used on several coins issued by the county during the 17th century, and it has become a recognizable feature of Hanau-Lichtenberg's coinage.
