Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Abbey of Fulda, minted during the reign of John III of Henneberg in 1539-1540, features an image of the Saint Boniface, the patron saint of Germany, on its reverse side. This is significant because Saint Boniface is known for his role in spreading Christianity throughout Germany and is considered a symbol of religious unity and faith. The inclusion of his image on the coin highlights the strong religious ties of the Abbey of Fulda and the region it served.
