Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Maximilian III Joseph, the ruler of the Electorate of Bavaria, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach, which was the ruling dynasty of Bavaria at the time. The coin was minted to commemorate Maximilian's appointment as the Vicar-General of the Holy Roman Empire in 1745. It's worth noting that the coin is quite rare and valuable, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction. Additionally, the coin's gold content and small weight make it a unique and interesting piece for collectors.
