Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Williams d'Or coin is that it was issued during the reign of William IX, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1785 until his death in 1821. During his rule, he implemented several economic and political reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the portrait of William IX on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the unity and power of the region.
