Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of Charles August, the ruling Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1801 to 1813, on its obverse side. This coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe, as the Napoleonic Wars were taking place and the German States were under French occupation. Despite these challenges, the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as this 1 Heller piece.
