Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1766 during the reign of Frederick II, features an image of the king on the obverse side and a crowned shield with the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin was made of silver and weighs 27.89 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Hesse-Cassel was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's design reflects the state's independence and sovereignty. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
