Interesting fact
The 1 Conventionsthaler - Maximilian I Joseph (Königstaler) 1806 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Maximilian I Joseph, who was the King of Bavaria from 1806 to 1825. This was a period of political and social upheaval, as the Napoleonic Wars had recently ended and the Congress of Vienna was taking place, which would ultimately lead to the reorganization of Europe's political landscape. Despite this turmoil, the Kingdom of Bavaria was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, which is a testament to the region's resilience and economic strength.
