Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from Ahlen (German States) was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued in the year 1584, which was just a few years before the start of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that would have a profound impact on the region and its economy. Despite the turmoil of the time, the 1 Heller coin remained a widely used denomination in the German States, and its copper composition made it an accessible and practical choice for everyday transactions.
