Comment
mistakenly referred to as a 6 Heller by MBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Heller coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted between 1585 and 1588, a period known as the "Kipper und Wipper" era, which saw widespread debasement of currencies and economic instability throughout the Holy Roman Empire. Despite this, the 8 Heller coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade and commerce.
