Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen, minted in 1564 during the reign of Philip I, features an intricate design on its reverse side. At the center of the coin is a shield with the Hessian coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. The shield is topped with a crown, and the entire design is encircled by a rim of dots. This design was a common feature of coins minted during Philip's reign and was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Hessian state.
