Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from the Free City of Augsburg was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin interesting is that it was produced during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his attempts to modernize and centralize the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a small but tangible reminder of the complex historical context in which it was created.
