Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Heller coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first king of Bohemia to be crowned as a Habsburg. This coin was minted in the city of Kuttenberg, which is now known as Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic. The coin's design features the Bohemian coat of arms on one side and the Habsburg coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the union between the two dynasties.
