3 Heller - Frederick Charles of Schönborn

One interesting fact about the 3 Heller coin featuring Frederick Charles of Schönborn is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick Charles, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1732 to 1737. During his reign, there was a significant increase in trade and commerce, which led to the need for a new coinage system. The 3 Heller coin was part of this new system and was used widely in the region. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not as valuable as other coins made of gold or other precious metals, but it was still an important part of the local economy. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of the German States during the 18th century.
