Interesting fact

The 1 Heller coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1765 during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the reverse side. This lion symbol was a common motif in Bavarian coinage during this period and was meant to represent the strength and power of the ruling Wittelsbach dynasty.
