Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features an image of Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1530 to 1558. He was also the King of Spain and the Archduke of Austria, making him one of the most powerful rulers of his time. The coin's design was minted in Nordlingen, a city in southern Germany, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
