The heller, which was incidentally called haller in Zurich, was used as a divisional coin that is, as coin with a low nominal value, which was used to make up small differences in transactions. To keep the cost of these small coins low, they were only stamped on one side. The device on this heller shows the Zurich coat of arms.
