Interesting fact

The Batzen 1569 from Talschaft of Uri is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the shield on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the design as a symbol of the Christian faith, and it sets the Batzen 1569 apart from other coins of the time.
