Interesting fact
The 1 Heller 1608 coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's minting was likely overseen by the Catholic Church, which held significant power and influence in the region at the time. Despite the turmoil, the coin's design remains a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the mint's engravers and artisans, with its intricate details and ornate lettering still visible today.
