Interesting fact
The 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted between 1799 and 1802, features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "M" and "J" on either side of the crown, which stands for Maximilian IV Joseph, the ruler of Bavaria at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and the shield with the initials is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
