Interesting fact

The 1 Krone coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, featuring Louis II, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted in 1864, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which would eventually lead to the unification of Germany under the rule of Prussia in 1871. This coin represents a unique moment in German history, as it was minted during the transition from a collection of independent states to a unified nation.
