Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Louis I 1827-1830 coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to honor King Louis I of Bavaria, who ruled from 1825 to 1848 and was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Bavarian state.
