| Additional information |
Hesse-Cassel under Landgrave Karl (Charles) maintained an unusually active copper coinage through the 1720s, partly to meet the chronic small-change shortage that plagued most German territories after the disruptions of the preceding century. The 1726–1728 window for this issue is narrow, suggesting a targeted emission rather than a sustained series — likely tied to local market demand rather than any broader monetary reform.
Karl himself ruled from 1670 to 1730, an exceptionally long tenure that saw Hesse-Cassel navigate both the War of Spanish Succession and profitable subsidiary treaties leasing Hessian troops to allied powers.
