austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 01:30 am Current catalog value for a 2 Heller in that condition is â‚¬1.00. It is an iron coin. The Byzantine empire, Austrian Habsburgs and the Russians used a double headed eagle For the Byzantines the two head represented East and West. For the Austrian Habsburgs it represented Church and state the Russians adopted the symbol from Bysantium The double headed Eagle did make a return to Austria briefly 1934-1938 Edited by austrokiwi 04/06/2013 01:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
