Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Thalers / 3½ Gulden - Louis I (Maximilian I - Pattern) 1839 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 48 g is that it was designed by the artist Johann Baptist Stiglmaier, who was a prominent medalist and engraver of the time. The coin features a portrait of King Louis I on one side and an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1839 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
