Heller ND

The Heller coin from Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, made of copper and weighing 0.35g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1737, just a few years after the Swiss Confederation was formed, and it reflects the efforts of the young nation to establish a standardized currency system. The Heller coin was an important part of this system, as it was used as a small denomination coin that was easily accessible to the general population. Despite its small size and value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item, offering a unique glimpse into the economic and political history of Switzerland during this time period.
