Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features an image of Maximilian I, who was the King of the Romans and Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 to 1519. He was known for his strong leadership and his efforts to reform the Holy Roman Empire, which had been weakened by internal conflicts and external threats. The coin's design, which includes a portrait of Maximilian I, serves as a testament to his legacy and the significance of his reign in the history of the Holy Roman Empire.
