Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Teschen (Silesia) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Charles II of Habsburg, who ruled the Duchy of Teschen from 1649 to 1652. During this time, the region was experiencing significant economic growth and trade, and the coin was likely used to facilitate transactions and commerce. The fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, suggests that it was intended to be a reliable and trustworthy form of currency.
