Interesting fact
The Maximilian II Emanuel 1694 ½ Thaler coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). Despite the conflicts, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of the Electorate of Bavaria.
