Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen - Maximilian I (Augsburg) 1515 coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "M" and "A" on either side of the shield, which stands for "Maximilianus Augustus" (Maximilian the Great). This coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the King of the Romans and Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 to 1519. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity of the Holy Roman Empire and the power of its ruler.
