Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Gentle, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1428 to 1464. He was known for his diplomatic skills and his efforts to strengthen the power of the Saxon Electorate, which was a powerful state within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design, which includes a depiction of Frederick II on horseback, reflects his importance as a leader and his role in shaping the history of the region.
