Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1730 during the reign of Frederick I, features an image of the Landgrave himself on one side and the Hessian coat of arms on the other. This coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. It's worth noting that the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel was a small state in what is now Germany, and its coinage was not widely used outside of the region. However, coins like this 1 Heller piece are still sought after by collectors today due to their historical significance and rarity.
