Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Heller - Louis I / Maximilian II (Gold pattern strike) 1847-1850 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of King Maximilian II, who was instrumental in the formation of the German Confederation, a union of 39 German states that was established in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's design features the profile of King Maximilian II on one side and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's independence and sovereignty within the larger German state. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
