Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Heller coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of John Gottfried of Aschhausen, who was a prominent bishop and politician in the region during the early 17th century. The coin was minted during his episcopate, which lasted from 1622 to 1623, and it is believed to be one of the earliest coins to feature a real person's image. This makes it a unique and valuable piece for collectors and historians interested in the history of the German States and the Catholic Church.
