Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Maximilian I (1626-1627), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the initials "M" and "F" on either side, which stand for "Maximilian, Friederich" (Maximilian, Frederick), representing the dual rule of the two Wittelsbach dynasty branches.
