Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Heller coin from County of Glatz (Glatz, Silesia) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Henry I, who was the Duke of Silesia and a member of the Piast dynasty. The coin features an image of Henry I on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Glatz on the other. The Heller was a widely used denomination in the region at the time and was valued at 1/4 of a Groschen, which was the standard unit of currency in the Holy Roman Empire.
