Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) made of Copper and weighing 1.71g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of William II, who was also known as William II, Elector of Hesse. He was a prominent figure in German politics during the early 19th century and played a significant role in the formation of the German Confederation. The coin's design, featuring William II's profile on one side and the Hessian coat of arms on the other, reflects the importance of the Electorate of Hesse during this time period.
