Interesting fact
The 1 Teston coin from County of Hanau-Münzenberg, made of silver, features an image of Philip Moritz, the Count of Hanau-Münzenberg, on one side, and the coat of arms of the county on the other. The coin was minted in 1621-1622, during Philip Moritz's reign, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and the use of silver as the material were not only a reflection of the county's wealth and power but also a symbol of the count's authority and influence in the region.
