Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F M" (Ferdinand Maria) located 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 to 1679. This coin was minted during his reign, and the shield is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
