Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1711 to commemorate the death of Maria Amalia, is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique blend of silver and other metals, known as "Kassel silver," which was a proprietary alloy used by the Hesse-Cassel mint. This alloy gave the coin a distinctive color and durability, making it stand out from other coins of its time.
