Interesting fact

The ½ Batzen coin from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.15 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of William IV, who was the Duke of Bavaria from 1508 to 1511. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and is a rare example of a silver coin from that era.
