Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Passau is that it features an image of Ernest of Bayern, who was the Prince-Bishop of Passau from 1532 to 1561. This coin was minted during his reign and features his portrait on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Passau. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during the Renaissance period in Germany and is highly sought after by collectors.
