Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique design element - a hand holding a hammer, which is where the coin gets its name "Hand Heller." This design was used to symbolize the city's reputation as a center of trade and commerce, as well as its connection to the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the region during the Middle Ages.
