Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) made of Billon is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "V" on the reverse side, which represents the initial of the bishop who issued the coin, Johann V. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
