Comment
Previously KM#314Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian IV Joseph (1799-1803), features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of the Bavarian coat of arms, which includes a shield with the symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, a crowned eagle. This highlights the historical connection between Bavaria and the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed in Central Europe from the 10th to the 19th century.
