Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1859, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which marked the beginning of a unified German state. The coin's design, featuring the Frankfurt coat of arms and the German eagle, reflects the city's pride in its history and culture. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Heller coin played an important role in the local economy and was widely used in everyday transactions. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists, serving as a reminder of Frankfurt's rich history and cultural heritage.
