Comment

Accidently mentioned as 15 1/2 Heller by KM

Interesting fact

The 10½ Heller coin from the City of Bocholt (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1616, just a few years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and had a profound impact on the region. Despite the turmoil, the coin remains a testament to the city's economic and cultural significance during that time.
