Comment
Minted from silver ore found at the Gladenbach mines.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Louis IV 1588 coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "L" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which represents the union between Louis IV and his wife, Margaret of Austria.
