Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Holy Roman Empire. This period saw significant changes in trade, commerce, and currency, with the introduction of new coinage systems and the rise of international trade. The 1 Heller coin, made of copper and weighing 2.0 grams, was a common denomination used in everyday transactions during this time.
