Comment
NOTE: previously KM#64Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Maximilian I (Trade Coinage) 1642-1647 from Electorate of Bavaria (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to the rise of individual German states like Bavaria. The coin's gold content and high denomination made it a valuable and prestigious currency, reflecting the growing wealth and influence of the Bavarian Electorate during this period.
