Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Heller coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features an image of King George of Poděbrady, who was a member of the powerful Poděbrady family and ruled the kingdom from 1458 to 1471. He was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote economic growth, and his reign saw the introduction of a new coinage system, which included the Heller coin. The coin was made of silver and was widely used throughout the kingdom for everyday transactions.
