Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1789 during the reign of William IX, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a ribbon bearing the motto "Fidelitas et Constans" (Faithfulness and Constancy). This design was meant to symbolize the region's values and loyalty to its rulers.
