Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler - Maximillian III Joseph (Schulpreis) 1772 coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "M" and "J" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for Maximilian III Joseph, the ruler of Bavaria at the time. This coin was also minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806, and Bavaria became an independent kingdom.
