Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Heller coin from the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William I, who was the first Elector of Hesse-Cassel and ruled from 1815 to 1821. During this period, the region was experiencing significant economic growth and industrialization, which led to an increased demand for currency. As a result, the 4 Heller coin was minted to meet this demand and was widely used in trade and commerce. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a unique glimpse into the economic and political history of the region during this time.
