Comment
Ref. F/S#2958-59, 2962.Interesting fact
The Heller coin was minted during the reign of Wenceslaus III Adam, who was the Duke of Teschen (Silesia) from 1569 to 1572. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great religious tension in the region. The Duchy of Teschen was a predominantly Catholic region, while the neighboring regions were predominantly Protestant. This coin may have been used as a symbol of unity and stability during a time of religious conflict.
