Austria 10 and 20 Heller 1915 to 1918
Austria is somewhat famous for tricking numismatists (coin collectors) by eliminating all written legends from some of its coins, especially those of small denomination. The 10 and 20 heller coins fit this description. Our thanks go to an anonymous CoinQuest reader who tipped us off about this coin (see comments below).
