Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Heller - William I 1816-1820 from Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The early 19th century saw the rise of industrialization and the emergence of new national states, which led to the need for new forms of currency that could facilitate trade and commerce. The 2 Heller coin, which was minted in the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel), a region in central Germany, reflects this historical context and serves as a reminder of the complex economic and political transformations that were taking place during this time period.
