Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Conventionsthaler - Louis I (Geschichtstaler; Blessing of Heaven - Pattern) 1828 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it features a unique design that was meant to symbolize the blessing of heaven. The coin's obverse depicts a crowned shield with the Bavarian coat of arms, while the reverse shows a scene of a man kneeling and looking up towards the sky, with rays of light descending from above. This design was intended to represent the idea that the Bavarian monarchy was divinely appointed and blessed by heaven.
