Interesting fact

The ½ Batzen coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, minted in 1504 during the reign of Philip 1504, features an unusual design element - a stylized letter "P" on the reverse side, which represents the initial of the ruling Elector, Philip the Magnanimous. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a unique and interesting collector's item.
