Louis VI ruled Hesse-Darmstadt for less than two years before dying in April 1678, and his coinage output was correspondingly thin. The 60 Kreuzer denomination — a heavy silver piece sometimes called the Doppelgulden in contemporary German commerce — proliferated across the fragmented Rhenish states during the 1670s partly as a response to chronic small-coin debasement, giving larger denominations an outsized role in regional trade. KM#65.1 distinguishes this variety from at least one other die pairing recorded for the type.
