Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Free City of Kempten (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was trying to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. The Batzen coin was one of the first standardized coins to be widely accepted across different regions, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period.
