Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it features two different rulers, Louis I and Maximilian II, on opposite sides. This was a common practice during the time period, known as "double-headed" coins, and was used to signify the transfer of power between the two rulers.
