Comment
There is an error know where the inscription on the edge reads MUNZVFRTRAG (see Künker e-Live Auction 51 Lot 904)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Vereinsthaler coin from Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1857, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation, which was a precursor to the modern German state. The coin's silver content and value were closely tied to the rapidly changing economic landscape of the time, making it a unique piece of history.
