Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - William V 1634 from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states, including Hesse-Cassel, were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain their independence in the face of powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Hesse-Cassel during this period is known for its high quality and artistic beauty, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
