Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Vereinsthaler - Louis II 1871 coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The coin was minted in 1871, just a few years after the Franco-Prussian War, which saw Prussia emerge as the dominant power in Germany and led to the formation of the German Empire. Additionally, Louis II, who is featured on the coin, was known for his eccentric behavior and lavish spending habits, which made him a controversial figure during his reign. Despite these factors, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
