Interesting fact

The 1 Batzen coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, minted during the reign of John IV (1521-1533), features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a wild man, known as a "Wildmann," on the reverse side. This mythical creature was a popular motif in medieval art and symbolized strength and bravery.
