Interesting fact
The 4 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted during the reign of Frederick I (1730-1751), was made of a unique alloy called "Billon." Billon is a mixture of copper and silver, with a small amount of other metals like zinc or nickel. This alloy was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period, as it was more durable and resistant to wear and tear than pure copper or silver. The use of Billon in coinage also allowed for the creation of coins with a lower intrinsic value, which helped to alleviate the shortage of precious metals during the era.
