Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "FJ" (for Francis Josias) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
