    1840 GERMANY HESSE - CASSEL RARE GOLD 5 TALER
    A HIGH AU WITH  A TINY HOLE AT ABOUT 12 OCLOCK FOR USE A PENDANT I SURMISE.
    A VERY ATTRACTIVE RARE HESSE-CASSEL GOLD COIN!
    Nine-fold arms in collar of the Order of the Golden Lion, German titles of Elector Wilhelm II and his son and Regent Friedrich Wilhelm; Reverse: Large Roman numeral value "V THALER". Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Cassel was raised to the dignity of Elector in 1803 by Napoleon, only to see his state annexed to Hieronymus (Jerome) Napoleon's new Kingdom of Westphalia in 1806-1813. Restored, Wilhelm and his successors clung to the now meaningless title Elector to keep up with their Darmstadt cousins who were now Grand Dukes. A fabulous example, struck with glittering prooflike fields that have the visual quality of a Proof striking." The five thaler was equal to a Prussian
    friedrichs d'or
    . This type is listed for 1834-40. The electorate was annexed to Prussia in 1866 and her coinage ceased.
