Brian, now that is a sweet old coin, just imagine the history it has been steeped in... Thanks for sharing a picture.

very old, very nice - thanks

 

Nice coin, something I am missing....

 

Very nice coin, Brian! I really like it!
Note also the initials FR. Though the head of the pricipality of Hesse-Cassel had the title of langrave, the initials are for Fridericus Rex or king Friedrich. Friedrich I , landgrave of Hesse-Cassel 1730-1751, was also king of Sweden 1720-1751.
