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 valued at 1 Thaler, which was a significant amount of money at the time. It's worth noting that the coin's design and the materials used to make it were quite advanced for its time, and it's a great example of the craftsmanship and artistry of the early 17th century. Additionally, the fact that it was used as a standard circulation coin speaks to the coin's historical significance and the importance of Maximilian I as a ruler.
