Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from Further Austria (Austrian States) made of Copper weighing 0.95g is that it was minted during the reign of Francis II, who was the last Holy Roman Emperor and the first Emperor of Austria. This coin was part of the currency reform he implemented in 1792, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Austrian States. The coin features an image of Francis II on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. Despite being made of copper, the coin was not widely accepted in trade due to its low value and was eventually replaced by higher denomination coins. Today, this coin is a rare collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Austrian currency.
