Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the County of Henneberg-Ilmenau is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "B" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Bernhard, Sachsen-Meiningen" and signifies the coin's origin and ruler.
