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 II, who was also known as Frederick the Great. He was a prominent figure in European history and known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. The coin's design and mintage were likely overseen by Frederick himself, making it a unique piece of history.
