Comment
Variation: The denomination "I" is either filled or just an outline (as shown above).Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Heller (Judenpfennig) 1820 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.19 g is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency in the Jewish community of Frankfurt during the 19th century. The coin was minted in 1820 and features the Hebrew letter "Aleph" on one side and the number "1" on the other. It was used as a substitute for the official currency of the time, the Frankfurt Gulden, and was only accepted by Jewish merchants and traders. This coin provides a unique insight into the economic and cultural history of the Jewish community in Frankfurt during this period.
