Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Friedrichs d'Or coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it features an image of Frederick II (also known as Frederick the Great) on one side, and a crowned shield with the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Frederick's reign, which lasted from 1760 to 1786, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. The use of gold in the coin's minting adds to its value and historical significance, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
