Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was minted during the reign of Frederick III, who was the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg from 1744 to 1750. The coin was made of copper and had a diameter of 24mm. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick III on one side, and on the other side, it has the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.
