Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Heller coin from the United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of William V, who was the Duke of Jülich-Kleve-Berg from 1579 to 1581. During this time, the region was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the 6 Heller coin remained a widely used denomination and was an important part of everyday commerce in the region.
