Comment
Minted 1902 for FerrariInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Conventionsthaler - Louis I (Geschichtstaler; Prince Otto - Pattern) 1832 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 48.38 g 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 crowned shield with the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted as a pattern piece, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
