Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Heller - Puota III coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Lordship of Glatz was a small territory located in what is now southwestern Poland, and it was a vassal state of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The coin was minted during the reign of Puota III, who was the last ruler of the Lordship of Glatz before it was annexed by the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1435. The coin's silver content and small weight suggest that it was used as a low-denomination coin for everyday transactions, and its design may have featured an image of Puota III or another local ruler. Despite its small size and relatively short circulation period, the Heller - Puota III coin remains an interesting artifact of a fascinating period in European history.
