Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1592 during the reign of William IV, was made of silver and weighed 28.8 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design featured the image of a lion, which was a symbol of the House of Hesse, the ruling dynasty of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel. The lion was depicted holding a shield with the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms, signifying the coin's origin and authority. This coin was widely used in trade and commerce during its time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
