Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Bavaria. King Ludwig I, who is featured on the coin, ruled from 1825 to 1848, a period of significant political and economic upheaval. The coin was minted in 1841, just a few years before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw widespread unrest and political change across Europe. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a lasting symbol of Bavaria's rich history and cultural heritage.
