Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Maximilian I, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, wearing a elaborate crown and a long beard. The reverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of Bavaria, which includes a shield with the symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, a double-headed eagle. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, and its design reflects the influence of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation.
