Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was the first duke of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. The coin features an image of Frederick I on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The coin was made of copper and weighed 0.6 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in the German States and was an important part of the local economy.
