Interesting fact
The 4 Heller coin from the Imperial barony of Schönau (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.40g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of John Gottfried, who was a prominent figure in the region and known for his contributions to the local economy and infrastructure. The coin's design features an image of Gottfried on one side and the coat of arms of the Schönau family on the other, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
