Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers - Louis I 1827-1829 coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis) above the crown on the obverse side. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to commemorate King Louis I of Bavaria, who ruled from 1825 to 1848.
