Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, minted during the reign of John IV (1487-1531), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the ruling family, it depicts a stylized image of a wild boar, which was a common motif in medieval European art and symbolized strength and bravery. This unique design choice makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
