Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick August I, the King of Saxony, while the reverse features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Saxony. The coin was minted in 1813, during a time of great political and social change in Europe, including the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, which had a significant impact on the German states and their currencies. Despite these challenges, the 1 Heller coin remained a widely used denomination in the region and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
