The heller, or haller was a German coin valued at half a pfennig named after city of Hall (today Schwäbisch Hall). The coin was produced beginning in the 13th century as silver pfennig (Häller Pfennig).
Heller was also the term used in the Austrian half of the empire for 1/100 of the Austro-Hungarian krone (the other being fillér in the Hungarian half), the currency of Austria-Hungary from 1892 until after the demise of the Empire.
The term heller (Czech: haléř, Slovak: halier) is also used for a coin valued at 1/100 of the Koruna in the Czech Republic (Czech koruna) and Slovakia (Slovak koruna), as well as in former Czechoslovakia (Czechoslovak koruna).
