Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, minted during the reign of George III in 1532-1533, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "G" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the ruling dynasty, the House of Wittelsbach. This coin was part of a series of silver coins issued by the Landgraviate during George III's reign, and its design was meant to symbolize the connection between the ruling family and the territory they governed.
