Why buy this Austria 1300-1400 Silver Hand Heller?
This Austria 1300-1400 Silver Hand Heller is a great choice for collectors of coins with numismatic significance, as well as those with an interest in medieval and/or Austrian history. Coins of this type were struck with .3 to .6g of silver. Over time, the composition of the coin deteriorated as more copper was mixed in.
Controversial Hand of God design
The obverse of the coin bears a simple design of a hand. Stretched out with an open palm, it is meant to be the hand of God. This was the first time that God was portrayed on a coin that did not also include an image of a king or a devotional feature.
On the reverse is the most iconic of Christian symbols, a cross. The extensive religious imagery is sure to be of interest to collectors who are religious, as well as anyone with an interest in the history of Christianity.
Very Fine 20
This coin was certified to be in Very Fine 20 condition by the experts at the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). That grade means that the coin has moderate design detail. Additionally, it comes in a special holder known as a "story vault."
