Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Heller coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it was minted during the reign of Joseph Clemens, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1705 to 1712. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.5 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in the German States and was considered a standard circulation coin.
