Comment
Depending on the date the eagle is facing either left or right.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Aachen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the 4 Heller piece. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Aachen during a difficult period in European history.
