Interesting fact
The 1 Heller 1843 coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt during the German Confederation era. The coin features the coat of arms of Frankfurt on one side and the value and year on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms features a depiction of the Imperial Eagle, which symbolizes the city's status as a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a brief period of time when Frankfurt was an independent city-state before it was annexed by Prussia in 1866.
