Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Louis IV 1572 coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to commemorate the reign of Louis IV, who was the Landgrave of Hessen-Marburg from 1567 until his death in 1604.
