Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Heller coin from the Abbey of Essen is that it features the image of Anne-Salomé de Salm-Reifferscheidt, a noblewoman who played a significant role in the history of the abbey. She was the abbess of the abbey from 1643 until her death in 1678 and was known for her piety and leadership. The coin was minted during her tenure as abbess, making it a unique piece of history that highlights the influence and power of women in the region during that time period.
