Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Silbergroschen coin from Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued in 1842, just a few years before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw the overthrow of the old German Confederation and the establishment of the North German Confederation. This period of political turmoil and transformation is reflected in the coin's design, which features both the old coat of arms of Hesse-Cassel and the new coat of arms adopted by the North German Confederation. This makes the coin a unique and fascinating piece of history that captures a moment of significant change and transition in German politics.
