| Additional information |
Louis VI of Hesse-Darmstadt reigned for only three years, from 1661 until his death in 1678, presiding over a territory still recovering from the devastation of the Thirty Years' War. The 60 Kreuzer denomination — sometimes called the Gulden or two-thirds thaler in contemporary accounting — was a product of the chaotic currency environment of the Holy Roman Empire, where fragmented monetary policy among the small states made large-denomination silver issues both commercially necessary and politically assertive.
KM#65.1 distinguishes this from at least one die variant recorded for the type.
