Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis) on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during Louis IV's reign. This shield was not present on earlier or later versions of the coin, making it a distinctive feature of this particular issue.
