Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Ernest Louis, the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, on one side, and a depiction of the "Rother Gottesgabe Ausbeute" (Red God's Gift Mining) on the other side. The Rother Gottesgabe Ausbeute was a famous silver mine in the region, and the coin was minted to commemorate its richness and prosperity.
