Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Heller coin is that it was minted during the reign of Vladislav II Jagelo, who was the King of Bohemia and Hungary, and also the Duke of Silesia. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during his reign, and it is made of silver, which was a valuable material at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the city of Breslau, which is now part of Poland, makes it a unique piece of history that highlights the cultural and economic exchange that took place in Europe during the 16th century.
