| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain Latin cross occupies the center of the field, with a pellet or small dot embellishment at each of the four terminals. The design is stark and unadorned, consistent with the minimalist reverse types common to small-denomination Heller coinage of the Holy Roman Empire in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The hammered flan results in a somewhat uneven, irregular outline around the cross motif. No legend or additional inscription is present on the reverse. |

Frankfurt's hand heller took its name from the city's heraldic hand, and the denomination itself descended from the Heller of Schwäbisch Hall — coins so ubiquitous in medieval German trade that "Heller" became a generic term for the smallest unit of account. By the 1490s, Frankfurt's position as a double-fair city gave even its most minor silver fractions genuine circulation weight across the Rhine-Main region. At 0.38 grams, these were struck at the absolute lower threshold of workable silver coinage.
