Comment
Mintmaster Albrecht BaumgartnerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the City of Isny (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who was attempting to centralize power and standardize currency across the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design and composition were likely influenced by these efforts, and it is a unique example of the currency reforms that were taking place during this time period.
