Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Heller coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis IV) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature helps to differentiate it from other coins of the same denomination and era.
