Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Free City of Augsburg continued to mint coins, including the 1 Heller, which was an important denomination for everyday transactions. The fact that this coin was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, also speaks to the economic realities of the time.
