Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from Brandenburg-Franconia is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the effigies of John IV and Margrave Albert Achilles, who ruled the region together from 1457 to 1464. This dual leadership is reflected in the coin's design, with John IV depicted on the left side and Margrave Albert Achilles on the right. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
