Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Christian Ernest, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, and his brother, Francis Josias, who served as the co-regent. This dual portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that time period, making it a distinctive and interesting aspect of this particular coin.
