Comment
JB# 898 prev. KM# 46Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Maximilian I 1626 coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "M" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Maximilian, First Duke of Bavaria" (in German: "Maximilian, Erster Herzog von Bayern"). This coin was minted during Maximilian's reign from 1597 to 1651 and was used as a means of promoting his legacy and territorial claims.
