Interesting fact
The Pattern 4 Heller coin from the City of Cologne (German States) in 1768 is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government. This coin may have been part of an experiment to introduce a new currency system, as the traditional Heller coin was being phased out in favor of a new currency called the Conventionsthaler. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique pattern, which sets it apart from other coins of the time.
