Comment
Coinage of the occupation period of Bavaria by the Austrian Imperial troups (1704, battle of Blenheim, 1713, Treaty of Utrecht) due to alliances during the Spanish succession war. Maximilian II Emanuel of Bavaria was then exiled in the Netherlands.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1705 under Joseph I, is that it was part of a series of coins known as the "Kaiser-Thaler" or "Emperor's Thaler," which were issued to commemorate the coronation of Joseph I as Holy Roman Emperor in 1705. These coins were minted in several cities across the empire, including Munich, and feature a portrait of Joseph I on one side and an image of the Imperial Eagle on the other. The coin , made of silver and weighing 28.6 grams, is a rare and valuable collector's item today, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Austrian Empire.
