Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Monetary Union of 1837, which this coin commemorates, was an agreement between several German states, including Bavaria, to standardize their currencies and create a uniform system of coinage. This was a significant step towards the eventual unification of Germany, which occurred in 1871. The coin's design, featuring King Louis I of Bavaria, also reflects the political and cultural ties between the German states at this time.
