Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted in 1743, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.A." (for "St. Augsburg") located above the coat of arms of Augsburg. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in the Free City of Augsburg, which was a self-governing city within the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time when the city was experimenting with its own currency, and it is highly sought after by collectors today.
