Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Free City of Augsburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Napoleonic Wars, which lasted from 1803 to 1815, and was part of a broader effort to standardize currency across the German states. The coin's design, which features a crowned shield with the letters "FCA" (for Free City of Augsburg) and a leafy branch, was meant to symbolize the city's independence and economic prosperity. Despite the challenges of the time, the 1 Heller coin remained a widely used and highly valued form of currency throughout the German states.
