Interesting fact

The ⅙ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian I (1623-1624), was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the 1623 Diet of Regensburg, where Maximilian was elected as the Holy Roman Emperor. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Bavaria on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, symbolizing the union between the Electorate of Bavaria and the Holy Roman Empire.
