    Nice pickup ....I also like the reverse design :thumb:

    It does look like baby Jesus has been pumping weights though :headbang:

    I am guessing they wanted to portray Jesus as a strong muscular presence.

    Nice coin Regandon!

    The Seated Madonna later became a frequent reverse on Bavarian coinage - Patrona Bavariae - reflecting the deep religious roots in the province.
