Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Maximilian I 1627 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, Friederich" (Maximilian, Frederick), the names of the two rulers who were responsible for the coin's minting. This shield is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
