Comment

Münsterberg is today called Ziębice.

Interesting fact

The Heller coin from the City of Münsterberg (Silesia) was made of silver, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The 15th century was a period of rapid urbanization and trade, and the City of Münsterberg was an important center of commerce and industry. The Heller coin was likely used for everyday transactions and could have been handled by merchants, traders, and other individuals involved in the bustling economy of the time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic and social changes that were taking place during that era.
