Comment
Ref. S/S#1.Interesting fact
The Heller coin from the Duchy of Teschen (Silesia) featuring Casimir II ND (1477-1528) was made of silver, but it was also issued in a unique way. The coin was minted with a square shape, which was unusual for coins at that time, as most coins were round. This square shape was a distinct feature of the Heller coin and made it easily recognizable.
