Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Maximilian I, Duke of Bavaria, with a distinctive pointed beard and a crown. The reverse side shows 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 change in Europe, as the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum and the Thirty Years' War was about to begin. Despite the turmoil, the coin's design remained relatively unchanged throughout Maximilian's reign, indicating the stability and continuity of the Bavarian duchy during this period.
