Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Moritz, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1623 to 1627. During his reign, Moritz implemented several economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy of the region. The 1 Thaler coin was one of the coins minted during this time, and it features an image of Moritz on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other.
