Interesting fact
The 2 Heller coin from Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of Charles I, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1670 to 1730. The coin features an image of Charles I on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. The use of copper in the production of this coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Despite its relatively low value, the 2 Heller coin played an important role in the economy of Hesse-Cassel and was used in everyday transactions.
