Interesting fact

The 3 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted in 1622, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of political and economic instability. Despite this, the city of Nuremberg continued to mint coins, such as the 3 Heller, which were widely used for trade and commerce. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Nuremberg during a time of great upheaval.
