Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from Saxe-Meiningen features an image of Frederick William, the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with the symbols of the three states that made up the duchy: Saxony, Meiningen, and Hildburghausen. This design was used on many coins minted during Frederick William's reign, which lasted from 1743 to 1745.
