Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Heller (Gold pattern strike) 1740-1742 from Free city of Augsburg (German States) made of Gold weighing 0.80 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, who was struggling to maintain the power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire in the face of growing nationalism and territorialism among the German states. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant numismatic value and is highly sought after by collectors today.
