Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Heller coin is that it was issued during the reign of King George of Poděbrady, who was a member of the House of Poděbrady, a powerful Bohemian noble family. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used in the region at the time, and it reflects the growing influence of the Poděbrady dynasty in Bohemia during the 15th century.
