Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the German States. The County of Hanau-Münzenberg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1764, it was under the regency of Maria of England, who was the daughter of King George II of Great Britain. This coin was minted during her regency, which lasted from 1764 to 1765. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance today.
