| Additional information |
Liegnitz (modern Legnica, Poland) operated under Piast ducal authority through most of the fifteenth century, and municipal issues like this heller circulated alongside ducal coinage in a region constantly negotiating competing monetary jurisdictions. The heller denomination itself derived from Schwäbisch Hall, spreading east through German-speaking lands as petty coinage for daily market transactions. By the late 1400s, Bohemian overlordship increasingly constrained Silesian civic minting rights.
Koppicki 8657 places this among a tightly grouped sequence of Liegnitz municipal issues distinguished primarily by die alignment and punch variants.
