Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) made of Copper and weighing 1.57g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of William II, who was the last ruler of the Electorate of Hesse before it was annexed by Prussia in 1866. This coin is a piece of history that represents the economic and political changes that occurred in Germany during the 19th century.
