| Additional information |
Amalia Elisabeth of Hanau-Münzenberg served as regent of Hesse-Cassel from 1637 until her death in 1651, navigating the final years of the Thirty Years' War with enough political skill to secure favorable terms for her territory at Westphalia in 1648. This thaler was struck as a memorial issue in the year of her death, a common funerary convention among German princely states but one rarely executed for a regent rather than a ruling prince — a quiet acknowledgment of how unusual her authority had been.
