Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1761 during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph, was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "M" and "J" on either side of the coat of arms, which represents the joint rule of Maximilian III Joseph and his brother, Joseph August. This shield is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
