<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3644525, member: 8959&quot;]Thank you for posting your coins, [USER=20613]@ffrickey[/USER].</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the &#039;Grosser Deutscher Muenzkatalog&#039; (A.K.S), the 3 Stuber Landmunz 1806 was minted while Berg was still under the rule of Duke Maximilan Joseph, Prince Elector von Bayern. MJ stands therefore for his initials - Maximilian Joseph.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned, Bavaria was forced to cede Berg to Napoleon in the same year (1806), who then appointed his brother in-law, Joachim Murat as ruler of Berg.</p><p>3 Stuber coins were also minted in the same year under the rule of J. Murat. These coins are of a different design, with a single, large &#039;J&#039; under the crown</p><p>on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Napoleon had a habit of appointing members of his family to rule various territories which he had conquered. Later on I will post coins minted by the Kingdom of Westfalen which Napoleon gave to his Brother Jerome to rule.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
