Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 06/25/2009 8:22 pm That is in fact an Austrian 2 Heller from 1903. These were made in the last decade of the 19th century and the first of the 20th. While these are very nice looking coins, they had enormous mintages and are not of that great of value.

akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 06/25/2009 8:41 pm Thanks for the quick replies. I'll agree with the comment about them being good looking coins and am very surprised that so many were minted. Report this Post to the Staff
valutarick Valued Member Netherlands 376 Posts	Posted 06/26/2009 6:10 pm Austrian money was not only Austria, but also present day Hungary and Czechoslovakia and some parts of Poland and Yugoslavia, so a large area needs many coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
