3 Heller - Philip Adolph of Ehrenberg

One interesting fact about the 3 Heller coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the country was in the process of rebuilding and recovering from the devastation caused by the conflict. The coinage of this period reflects the efforts of the various German states to stabilize their economies and re-establish trade and commerce. The 3 Heller coin, made of silver and weighing 0.26 grams, was a common denomination during this time and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its small value, it played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
