Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Louis IV 1588 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 Hessen-Marburg at the time the coin was minted.
