Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) was a small state in central Germany that was ruled by the House of Hesse-Kassel, a prominent noble family. In the early 19th century, the Electorate was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Hesse-Kassel dynasty was abolished. Despite this, the coin continued to be minted and used as currency in the region. This coin is a tangible reminder of a tumultuous period in German history and serves as a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
