Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Eichstätt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "IHS" (Iesus Hominum Salvator, or Jesus Savior of Men) surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the denomination, and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
