Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Munich coat of arms, which includes a depiction of a monk and a bear. According to legend, the monk and bear represent the city's founders, who were said to have tamed a wild bear and brought it to the city as a symbol of their strength and bravery. This image has been featured on Munich's coat of arms for centuries and is still used today as a symbol of the city.
