Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, minted in 1767 during the reign of Frederick Christian, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the margraviate, the coin bears an image of a beehive, surrounded by the inscription "Fürchte Gott, Liebe Arbeit" (Fear God, Love Work). This design was meant to promote the values of diligence and hard work among the population, and it remains a unique and interesting feature of this particular coin.
