| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the crowned shield of Austria, displayed within an ornate decorative frame enclosed by a beaded or linear circle. The mint mark 'BB' (for engraver Bernhard Beheim) appears prominently in the field. A Latin legend encircles the design, with the date rendered in Roman numerals positioned at the upper left. The overall style is characteristic of late Gothic Habsburg hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximilian I minted these fractional pieces through the Hall in Tirol facility, which he had systematically developed into one of the most technically advanced mints in Europe — partly to fund his near-continuous military campaigning and partly to stabilize exchange across the patchwork of Habsburg territories where local coinages created constant transactional friction. The Batzen denomination itself was a relatively recent Swiss innovation that Maximilian adopted aggressively, recognizing its practical utility for small commerce.
He died in January 1519, still in debt to the Fugger banking house for loans that had financed his imperial election campaigns.
