Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Friedrichs d'Or coin from Hesse-Cassel is that it features a unique design element - a small star symbol located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This star symbol was added to the coin's design to signify the importance of the coin's gold content, as gold was considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity at the time.
