5 THALER
1814
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers - William I 1814 coin from Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1814, just after the Napoleonic Wars, which had a profound impact on the European economy and monetary systems. The fact that it was made of gold (.900) and weighs 6.59g suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin at the time, and its design and mintage were likely carefully considered by the authorities in Hesse-Cassel.
