Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the feudal systems that had dominated Europe for centuries. The coin's minting during this period speaks to the complex economic and political dynamics of the time, and its survival today serves as a tangible reminder of this fascinating period in history.
