Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the City of Schwäbisch Hall (German States) made of Silver weighing 4.03g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was trying to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is an example of the efforts to create a standardized currency, which was a novel idea at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, shows the importance of this coin as a medium of exchange and store of value.
