Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen, which was minted during the reign of Ernest Frederick III Charles (1763-1770), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the duchy, the coin bears an image of a tree, which is believed to represent the "Tree of Life" or the "Tree of Knowledge." This unique design was likely intended to symbolize the duchy's commitment to wisdom, growth, and prosperity.
