Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Province of Upper Hesse, Hesse-Cassel) made of Copper is that it was minted during the reign of William II, who was the last ruler of the House of Hesse-Kassel and ruled from 1824-1830. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which also included other denominations such as the 1/2 Kreuzer, 1 Kreuzer, and 2 Kreuzer. The coin features an image of William II on one side and the coat of arms of Hesse-Kassel on the other. It is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the region and the House of Hesse-Kassel.
