Comment
Drescher 9Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued in 1506 during the reign of Albert IV, features an interesting design element - a unique mintmark in the form of a small cross above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This mintmark was used specifically by the mint in Munich, which was the capital city of Bavaria at the time, and can be seen on many coins issued during this period. This fact highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into the production of this coin, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians alike.
