Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken was minted during the reign of Charles II August, who was the Duke of Zweibrücken from 1775 until his death in 1795. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency across the German States. The coin was made of copper and had a value of 1/60 of a Gulden, which was the standard unit of currency in the German States at the time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
