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, rather than using the traditional title of "Count of Hesse." This coin, minted in 1596, features Louis IV's name and title in Latin on one side, and the Hessian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare example of early modern coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
