| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick II of Hesse-Cassel financed his court largely by leasing his subjects as soldiers to foreign powers — most notoriously to the British Crown for service in North America, a practice that generated enormous revenue through the 1770s. This issue falls precisely at the opening of that arrangement, when the subsidies were being negotiated and Hessian treasury activity was unusually high. The landgraviate's coinage of this period reflects a solvent, if morally compromised, fiscal operation.
