Interesting fact
The 1 Heller 1661 coin was minted during a time of great change in the German States. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the country was in the process of rebuilding and recovering. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for currency in the region, as trade and commerce began to flourish once again. Despite being made of copper, a relatively common metal at the time, the coin's design and minting process were still carefully crafted to ensure its authenticity and value.
