Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Batzen coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the first king to unite the crowns of Castile, Aragon, and Navarre, and became the first monarch of Spain. This coin was minted in the city of Nordlingen, which was an important trading center during the Renaissance period. The coin's design features an image of Charles V on one side and the Holy Roman Empire's eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and influence of the empire during that time.
