Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, minted during the reign of Philip ND (1476-1508), features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the obverse side. This lion symbolizes the coat of arms of the Palatinate region, which was a powerful and influential territory in the Holy Roman Empire during the medieval period. The use of the lion motif on the coin was a nod to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
