1 Heller - Albert III

Albert III ruled Saxe-Coburg from 1680 until his death in 1699, governing one of the smallest and most financially precarious of the Ernestine Saxon duchies. The heller was the lowest denomination in the German copper coinage hierarchy, and issues at this weight were struck primarily to address chronic shortages of petty currency in territories too small to sustain meaningful silver circulation. Saxe-Coburg's minting activity under Albert III was limited, making survivors in any condition genuinely scarce rather than merely undervalued.
