Interesting fact
The Batzen coin from the Lordship of Haldenstein (Grisons) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Thomas I, who was a member of the powerful Habsburg dynasty and ruled over a large portion of Europe. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for currency in the region, as trade and commerce were expanding rapidly during this time. Despite its small denomination, the Batzen coin played an important role in the local economy and was likely used in everyday transactions by people living in the Grisons region.
