Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Batzen coin from Charles V (Augsburg) 1523 is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.R.E." (Sacrum Romanum Imperium) which represents the Holy Roman Empire. This coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex political landscape of the era.
