The 1 Heller coin from Ulm features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a ship on the reverse side. This design was meant to symbolize the city's connection to the Danube River, which was an important trade route during that time. The inclusion of the ship design was a nod to the city's economic and cultural ties to the river, and it adds an interesting touch to the coin's design.
