Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1634 William V 1/48 Thaler from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the Hesse-Cassel family's lion in the first and fourth quarters, and the Nassau family's lion in the second and third quarters. This represents the alliance between the two families, highlighting the political and historical significance of the coin.
