Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Batzen coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Wise, who was a prominent figure in the German Renaissance and a key player in the Protestant Reformation. He was a strong supporter of Martin Luther and helped to spread Luther's ideas throughout the region. The coin's design, which includes Frederick's portrait and a depiction of the Palatinate coat of arms, reflects the cultural and historical significance of this influential leader.
