Interesting fact
The Heller coin featuring Matthias Corvinus, minted in the city of Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) during his reign (1458-1490), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of the city's wealth and prosperity, and it speaks to the economic and cultural significance of Breslau during the Renaissance period.
