Comment
Interesting fact
The 2 Heller coin from Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was also known as Frederick the Great. He was a prominent figure in European history and was known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements. The coin's design features an image of Frederick I on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. The coin's copper composition and relatively low denomination made it a widely used currency among the common people of Hesse-Cassel during Frederick's reign.
