Comment
The 1737 without mint mark have a different version of monogram compared to the L.R version.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government of Hesse-Cassel. This coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin during his reign from 1737 to 1743 and features an image of Frederick I on one side and the Hesse-Cassel coat of arms on the other.
