Comment
For 1916 issue see also KM#2825 for different shield on obverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Heller coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of war. The coin was issued between 1915 and 1916, during World War I, when the Austrian Empire was fighting on multiple fronts. Despite the challenges of wartime, the minting of coins continued, and this particular coin was produced using a combination of copper, zinc, and nickel. The use of these metals was a common practice during this time period, as it allowed for the production of coins that were durable and resistant to corrosion. The 10 Heller coin is a small but interesting piece of history that serves as a reminder of the economic and political climate of the time.
