Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the reign of Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt, who ruled from 1892 until his death in 1918. The coin's design features a portrait of the Grand Duke on one side and the Hesse-Darmstadt coat of arms on the other. It was minted in a relatively small quantity, with only 30,000 coins produced, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
