Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1627 during the reign of William V, features an image of the Landgrave himself on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes the symbol of the Hesse-Cassel family, a stylized letter "W," which stands for the German name "Willem" (William). This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the region and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time.
