Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian II Emanuel (1687-1697), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Bavaria on one side, and the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire on the other. This symbolizes the dual role of the Elector of Bavaria as both a sovereign ruler and a member of the Imperial Diet.
