Interesting fact

The Heller coin was minted during the reign of John III of Pernstein, who was a member of the powerful Pernstein family, a noble family from Bohemia. The Pernsteins were known for their wealth and influence, and they played a significant role in the politics and economy of the region during that time. The fact that this coin was minted during John III's reign suggests that it may have been used to promote trade and commerce in the region, as well as to solidify the Pernstein family's power and influence.
