Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1754 during the reign of William VIII, features an image of the landgrave on one side and the Hessian 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 make it reflect the efforts of the ruling dynasty to maintain their power and influence during this period of upheaval.
