Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, which was minted during the reign of Maximilian I Joseph (1806-1829), features an image of the king on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes the symbol of the Wittelsbach family, who ruled Bavaria for over 700 years. This coin was made of copper and weighs 0.65 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, the 1 Heller coin played an important role in the economy of Bavaria during the early 19th century, as it was widely used for everyday transactions. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the history of Bavaria and its currency.
