Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler - Ferdinand Maria 1657 coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F M" (for Ferdinand Maria) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the reign of Ferdinand Maria, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1651 until his death in 1679. This coin was minted during his reign and is a rare example of a coin that bears his name and title.
