Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "M" inside, which stands for the name of the ruler, Moritz. This shield is placed above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin, and it's a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
