Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from Sachsen-Weimar is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "W" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the names of the ruling dukes, Johann Ernst III and Wilhelm Ernst. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the unity and cooperation between the two dukes and their territories.
