5 THALER
1820
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers - William I 1820 from Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1820, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German states were in the process of reorganizing and modernizing their economies. The Electorate of Hesse, in particular, was a significant player in this process, and the coin reflects the efforts of the ruling landgraviate to establish a stable and prosperous economy. Additionally, the coin's composition of .900 gold and its weight of 6.63 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists. Its rarity and historical significance have led to its inclusion in many prominent coin collections around the world.
