Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler "Vikariatstaler" coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F M" (Ferdinand Maria) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the design to indicate that the coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand Maria, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1651 to 1679. This small detail provides a subtle yet interesting insight into the history and provenance of the coin.
