Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of John Frederick I, also known as "Kipper," who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1608 to 1622. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the nickname "Kipper" was given to him because of his habit of biting his coins to test their authenticity. This coin is a rare example of a coin from that time period and region, and it is highly sought after by collectors.
