Comment
Coin of the "kipper" devaluation period.Interesting fact
The 3 Heller coin from the City of Liegnitz (Silesia) made of Copper weighing 0.28 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had a profound impact on the region, leading to changes in trade, commerce, and the monetary system. The coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and other symbols, also reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the complexities of 17th-century Europe.
