Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Maximilian I, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, wearing a elaborate dress and a crown. The reverse side of the coin features 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 used as a standard circulation coin during Maximilian's reign and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time.
