Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Free City of Kempten is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "K" on the reverse side, which represents the city's initial. This letter is surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal.
