Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Heller coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg is that it was minted during the reign of Louis IV, who was the first Hessian ruler to issue coins with his own name and title. This coin, made of silver, features an image of Louis IV on one side and the Hessian coat of arms on the other. It was minted in 1588, a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in power, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
