Comment
Accidently mentioned as 15 1/2 Heller by KMInteresting fact
The 15¾ Heller 1616 coin from the City of Bocholt (German States) made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted. It was issued during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that ravaged much of Europe, and its minting was likely a response to the need for currency during this time. As a result, the coin provides a unique window into the economic and political conditions of the time, making it a fascinating piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
