Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Heller coin from the Austrian Empire, made of iron and weighing 4 grams, was designed by Austrian artist and sculptor, Anton Scharff. Scharff was known for his work in creating medals and coins for the Austrian government, and his designs often featured intricate details and symbolism. In the case of the Pattern 10 Heller coin, Scharff's design featured an image of the Austrian Emperor, Charles I, on one side, and the imperial eagle on the other. The coin was minted in 1917, during the height of World War I, and was intended to be used as a substitute for the standard 10 heller coin, which was made of silver. However, due to the wartime economy and the shortage of precious metals, the Pattern 10 Heller coin was never widely circulated and remains a rare and valuable collector's item to this day.
