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 ruled the duchy during a time of great political and economic change in the region. Despite being a small silver coin, it has a rich history and is a valuable piece for collectors of ancient coins.
