Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg is that it features an image of Frederick William II, who was the Duke of Saxe-Altenburg from 1661 until his death in 1669. Despite being a relatively small coin, it has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for those interested in numismatics.
