Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles V, who was trying to centralize power and create a unified currency across the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these efforts, the coinage system remained diverse and localized, with each city and region minting its own coins. The 1 Heller coin is a unique example of this localized coinage and is a testament to the economic and political autonomy of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt during this time.
