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 Klemens of Bayern, who was the Prince-Elector and Archbishop of Cologne from 1722 to 1723. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during his short reign, and its small weight of 0.3 grams makes it a unique and valuable collector's item.
