1 Heller - Walter of Kronberg

Walter von Cronberg was elected Grand Master in 1527 following the apostasy of Albert of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who had converted to Lutheranism and secularized the Order's Prussian territories the previous year. The Heller issues under Walter represent some of the last coinage produced by the Order before its German administrative structures were increasingly absorbed into Habsburg governance — Walter himself held the position of Administrator of the Holy Roman Empire's Teutonic bailiwick rather than ruling a coherent territorial state.

Prokisch 15a distinguishes this variety within a short two-year window of production.
