Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of Charles, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1725 to 1730. The coin features an image of Charles on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire, of which Hesse-Cassel was a part. The coin's design and the materials used to mint it reflect the economic and political climate of the time.
