Comment
There are unfortunately no pictures provided by dealers who've agreed to a fair use with numista.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Bavaria, known as the "Bavarian Renaissance." This period saw a renewed interest in the arts, sciences, and humanism, and the coin's design reflects this cultural revival, featuring an intricate portrait of Ferdinand Maria and a beautifully detailed reverse side with the Bavarian coat of arms.
