Interesting fact

The 21 Heller coin from the City of Bocholt (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was experiencing significant economic growth and trade, and the coin's design reflects this prosperity. The obverse side of the coin features the image of a bust of a noble, likely a member of the ruling family of Bocholt, surrounded by intricate details and ornamentation, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the city, which includes a shield with three roses and a crown. This coin is a testament to the city's rich history and economic significance during the 17th century.
