Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Louis I (1839-1856), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Bavarian coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was a symbol of the kingdom's sovereignty and its connection to the German States.
