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 coin was minted in the County of Glatz, which is now located in modern-day Poland, and was made of silver. What's interesting is that the coin features an image of John III on one side and the coat of arms of the Pernstein family on the other, which highlights the family's influence and power in the region during that time.
