Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Conventionsthaler - Louis I (Geschichtstaler; Prince Otto - Pattern) 1832 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it was designed by the artist Johann Baptist Stiglmaier, who was a prominent medalist and engraver of the time. The coin features a portrait of Prince Otto, who later became King Ludwig I of Bavaria, on one side, and an image of a allegorical figure representing Bavaria on the other. The coin was minted in 1832 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design. It is made of silver (.833) and weighs 28.06 grams.
