Comment
Previously KM#386Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1828 Bavarian Conventionsthaler is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a cherub's head at the center of the coin's reverse side. This cherub's head is said to represent the "Blessing of Heaven" and was included in the design to symbolize the divine approval of the coin's issuance. This small detail adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to an already beautiful and valuable coin.
