Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Heller coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still features a detailed portrait of Ferdinand, the Archbishop of Cologne, signifying the importance of the church and its leaders during this period.
