Interesting fact
The 2 Marks coin from the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, minted in 1888 during the reign of Louis IV, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the Grand Duke, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. This design was meant to symbolize the connection between the ruler and the land, as well as the Grand Duchy's strong agricultural tradition.
