Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Heller coin from County of Hanau-Münzenberg (German States) made of Copper is that it was minted during the reign of William VIII, who was the last count of Hanau-Münzenberg before the county was annexed by the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel in 1745. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, as it represents the end of an era for the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and the beginning of a new chapter under Hesse-Kassel rule.
