Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate King Louis I of Bavaria's victory in the Russian Campaign during the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's design features an image of the king on horseback, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and the inscription "Ludovicus I Bavariae Rex" (Louis I, King of Bavaria). The coin was minted in 1833, 25 years after the event it commemorates, and was intended to promote the king's image as a powerful and victorious leader.
