Interesting fact
The 3 Heller coin from Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of William VIII, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1751 until his death in 1760. The coin features an image of William VIII on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. It was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. It's worth noting that the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel was a small state in what is now Germany, and its currency was not widely used outside of its borders. Therefore, the 3 Heller coin from Hesse-Cassel is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
