Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1826 Kingdom of Bavaria 1 Conventionsthaler coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of King Louis I's accession to the throne. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a depiction of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Baptist Reichenbach and the scientist Joseph von Fraunhofer, who was responsible for the coin's unique silver content, which was minted using a special process that he developed. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
