Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The early 19th century saw the rise of the Napoleonic Empire, which had a significant impact on the currency and trade of many European states, including Hesse-Cassel. Despite these challenges, the 1/24 Thaler coin remained a widely used denomination in the region and is still sought after by collectors today.
