Comment
Minted for use in Ulm and Überlingen.Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from Ulm features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a sailing ship on the reverse side. This design was meant to symbolize the city's connection to the Danube River and its importance as a trading hub. The inclusion of a ship on the coin's design was a nod to the city's rich maritime history and its role in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
