Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Louis IV 1592 coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Louis IV, while the reverse side shows an image of the Virgin Mary surrounded by the coats of arms of the House of Hesse and the House of Nassau. This blending of religious and heraldic symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during the late 16th century.
