Interesting fact
The Pattern 6 Kreuzers - Louis II (Gold Pattern) 1844 from Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt (Hesse-Darmstadt, German States) made of Gold weighing 4.74 g is a rare and valuable coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. This makes it particularly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in gold, a valuable and durable metal, adds to its rarity and value.
