Comment
For circulation in upper Hessia, Hanau and Fulda.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The Electorate of Hesse, which was a state within the Holy Roman Empire, was dissolved in 1803, and the territory was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia. However, the coin continued to be minted until 1834, even though the Electorate no longer existed as a political entity. This coin is a reminder of the complex history of Germany during this time period.
