Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles IV, who was instrumental in establishing the Golden Bull of 1356, which established the framework for the Holy Roman Empire's government and economy. The coin's silver content and small denomination made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and it would have been used by merchants, traders, and ordinary citizens in Frankfurt and beyond. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period of significant economic growth and change.
