Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Jülich was minted during the reign of Reinald ND (1419), and it features an image of the duke on one side and a cross on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it weighed only 0.27 grams, making it a very small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, the coin was still widely used in the German States during the 15th century, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
