| Additional information |
Schwäbisch Hall's heller was among the most widely circulated small silver coins in medieval Germany, so trusted across the Holy Roman Empire that "Heller" became the generic German term for a small-denomination coin. The city's minting rights, confirmed by imperial privilege, made it a significant regional authority during the early fourteenth century — the precise window this piece occupies.
Steinh#147 places this within a tightly documented sequence. The one-hand type distinguishes it from the two-hand varieties struck concurrently at the same workshops.
