Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Silver weighing 28.99 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of William V, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1627 to 1637. During his reign, he promoted the arts and sciences, and was known for his support of the Protestant Church. The coin itself is a representation of the economic and political power of the region during that time period.
