Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Hesse-Cassel region, where the coin was minted, was a small state within the German Confederation, and the coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the region. The use of gold in the coin's production also speaks to the region's wealth and economic influence at the time.
