Comment
Previously listed as KM#465Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Madonna Column in Munich, which was erected in 1638 to celebrate the end of the Swedish occupation of the city during the Thirty Years' War. The coin's design features an image of the column on one side and a portrait of Maximilian II, the King of Bavaria, on the other.
