Interesting fact
The Batzen coin from the City of Colmar (French 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 between 1532 and 1535, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges and political instability. The City of Colmar, which is located in modern-day France, was an important trading center during this time and the Batzen coin was likely used extensively in local trade and commerce. Despite the challenges of the time, the Batzen coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, reflecting the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Colmar.
