Interesting fact
The 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph (1760-1777), was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the Convention of Altdorf, a treaty signed in 1760 between the Electorate of Bavaria and the Austrian Empire. The treaty established a military alliance between the two states and marked the beginning of a period of close political and economic cooperation. The coin's design features an image of Maximilian III Joseph on one side and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other, symbolizing the unity and strength of the two states.
