Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 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 coin was issued during the reign of Charles, who was the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel from 1712 to 1717. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Hesse-Cassel, began to issue their own coins. The 4 Heller coin was one of the first coins minted by Hesse-Cassel, and it was used widely in trade and commerce throughout the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the economic and political changes that took place in Europe during the early 18th century.
