Comment
Hoffm. 5974Interesting 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 initials "L" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the Latin phrase "Ludovicus Magnus" or "Louis the Great," referring to Louis IV, the ruler of the Landgraviate at the time the coin was minted.
