Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Conventionsthaler - Louis I (Customs Union - Pattern) 1835 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 48.60 g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis I of Bavaria, who was a key figure in the formation of the German Customs Union, a precursor to the modern-day European Union. The coin's design, featuring the king's portrait and the inscription "Conventionsthaler" (meaning "Convention dollar" in German), reflects the coin's intended use as a standardized currency for the German states. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
