Interesting fact

The 4 Heller coin from Hesse-Cassel was minted during the reign of Frederick II, who was also known as Frederick the Great. He was a prominent figure in European history and known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. The coin's design features an image of Frederick II on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other. The use of copper in the coin's minting was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
