Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Berg is that it features an image of Adolph IX, who was the Duke of Berg from 1408 to 1423. He was a member of the House of Limburg-Stirum and was known for his military campaigns and political alliances during his reign. The coin's design, which includes Adolph IX's image, was likely meant to promote his image and reinforce his authority as a ruler.
