Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted between 1594 and 1596, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and berries. This design was a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
