Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Passau is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a frog on the reverse side. This frog symbol was used as a mintmark to indicate that the coin was produced at the Passau mint. The use of a frog as a mintmark was a common practice in the German States during this time period, and it's a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
