Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen is that it features a unique design element known as a "klippe," which is a small, raised notch or point on the coin's rim. This feature was added to the coin's design to prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier for people to tell genuine coins from fake ones. The klippe on this coin is particularly notable because it is shaped like a small crown, which adds an extra layer of detail and interest to the coin's design.
