Interesting fact

The 3 Heller coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1774 during the reign of Frederick II, features an image of a lion on its obverse side. This lion symbolizes the strength and courage of the Hesse-Cassel region, which was known for its military prowess and strategic alliances during the 18th century. The coin's design was inspired by the region's coat of arms, which also features a lion.
