Interesting fact
The Augsburg Pattern 1 Heller coin from 1608 is a rare and valuable numismatic item, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "Gold Pattern" design, which was used as a trial strike to test the dies and ensure their quality before the regular production of coins began. This pattern coin is made of gold, which adds to its rarity and value, and collectors highly prize it.
