Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Maximilian II Emanuel, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, wearing a wig and a crown. 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. The coin was made of silver and has a diameter of approximately 40 mm. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, with the Holy Roman Empire being dissolved in 1806, just a few decades after the coin was minted. Additionally, the coin's design reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, with the inclusion of the Holy Roman Empire's symbol on the reverse side.
