| Beschrijving keerzijde | A five-line denomination inscription in raised capital letters fills the entire central field, reading '1 / HELLER / SCHEIDE / MVNTZ / 1723', flanked on the first line by two rosette or flower ornaments serving as decorative stops. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, occupying the full width of the flan, with no surrounding border legend. The use of 'SCHEIDE MVNTZ' (small change money) identifies the coin's subsidiary monetary status within the Hesse-Cassel currency system. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hesse-Cassel's heller denominations of the early eighteenth century were minted under Landgrave Charles (Karl I), who ruled the landgraviate from 1670 until his death in 1730. Charles was an aggressive mercenary contractor — Hessian troops served under his arrangement in numerous European conflicts, and the revenues funded a court at Kassel that punched well above the landgraviate's actual size. The copper heller sat at the absolute bottom of the monetary ladder, a denomination whose purchasing power was negligible even then.
The two-year window of 1723–1724 for this type suggests a limited emission, possibly tied to a specific local need for small change rather than any sustained minting program.
