Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Heller ND (1433-1456) coin from the City of Troppau (Silesia) is that it was minted during the reign of King George of Poděbrady, who was a member of the Luxembourg dynasty and ruled the Kingdom of Bohemia. This coin was used as a means of payment during his reign and features an image of the king on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. Despite its small weight of 0.3 grams, it was an important part of the economy of the time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
