Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Heller coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick William I, who was the Elector of Hesse-Cassel from 1848 to 1866. During this time, the German states were undergoing a period of revolution and political transformation, which ultimately led to the unification of Germany under the rule of Prussia in 1871. Despite this turmoil, the 3 Heller coin remained a stable and widely used denomination in the region, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
