instrumental in helping the Holy Roman Empire defeat Frederick V, Count Palatine of the Rhine, during the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. For his services, Maximilian was elevated to the status of an imperial elector in 1623, thus positioning him as one of the most powerful princes in the Empire. Bavaria’s new status as an electorship reflected the growth of the duchy as a major military power that would continue to play an active role in European affairs.&quot; This impressive &quot;Madonnentaler&quot; was minted in Munich four years after Maximilian took his new title of Elector:</p><p> </p><p><b><span style="color: red">BAVARIA 1627 SILVER MADONNENTHALER -

[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1134129, member: 6229"][B][SIZE=4][COLOR=red]Thaler Coinage of the Pre Empire German States - Chapter 11[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] Our quest of locating some of the world's finest coinage during the existance of the Free German States that were still in existence prior to the forming of the German Empire in 1871 brings us to our [B]"B"[/B] alphabetical listing of Bavaria. To see how vast this state (once a kingdom) was, just take a look at this map: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deutschland_Lage_von_Bayern.svg"][B]MAP LOCATION OF BAVARIA[/B][/URL] In reality, Bavaria's territory was much larger because it incorporated territory that became Austria. Also, let it be known that German references to Bavaria use or includes [B]Freistaat Bayern.[/B] Some Thaler coinage listings for Bavaria will be listed under Bayern. The beginning of the [B][I]Thaler[/I][/B] designation came about thusly: 1500: The first German Guldengroschen is issued from Saxony, with a value of 24 Groschen. In Bremen it circulates equivalent to 36 Groten. These Guldengroschen are reduced in weight to 29.2g so as to be minted at eight coins to the Cologne Mark. 1518: The first coin actually called a "Thaler" is minted in Joachimsthal, Bohemia. Its weight is as the standard of 1500 (20.2g - eight coins to the Cologne Mark). Often a Thaler bears the notation [B][SIZE=2]EINE F. MARK[/SIZE][/B] which is an abbreviatuon for [B][SIZE=2]EINE FINE MARK[/SIZE][/B]. In 1837, the Prussian Thaler became part of a currency union which set the value of the southern German Gulden at 1.75 per thaler. By 1850, nearly all German states used this standard of Thaler, though with differing subdivisions. In Bavaria, minor Thaler coinage includes the following denominations: Kreuzer issued in fractionals (1/4, 1/2) as well as mulltiples such as 3, 6, 10, and 20 Kruezer. Groschen which is equivalency is 1 Groschen = 3 Kreuzer. Krone (1/2 and 1) Pfennig and 2 Pfennig. Heller. Gulden in fractions and multiples. 1/2 Thaler and multiples of 1, 2, 3 and 5. Konventionsthaler, Kronenthaler and Vereinsthaler. Ready to view some photos of the Thaler coinage of Bavaria?

"Maximilian, Duke of Bavaria, was instrumental in helping the Holy Roman Empire defeat Frederick V, Count Palatine of the Rhine, during the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. For his services, Maximilian was elevated to the status of an imperial elector in 1623, thus positioning him as one of the most powerful princes in the Empire. Bavaria’s new status as an electorship reflected the growth of the duchy as a major military power that would continue to play an active role in European affairs." This impressive "Madonnentaler" was minted in Munich four years after Maximilian took his new title of Elector: [B][COLOR=red]BAVARIA 1627 SILVER MADONNENTHALER - ELECTOR MAXIMILIAN:[/COLOR][/B] [Coin Archives Photo] [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=925488&AucID=683&Lot=1316&Val=6c5652195bbf09d0990ec6f8d4130726"][B]BAVARIA (BAYERN) 1627 SILVER THALER - ELECTOR MAXIMILIAN[/B][/URL] This piece, a Dopplethaler (2 Thaler) was struck in 1626, one year before that 1627 Madonnenthaler: [Coin Archives photo] [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=920225&AucID=678&Lot=499&Val=8c0d8cc4270d21516d8d46680c36b489"][B]BAVARIA 1626 SILVER 2 THALER - MAXIMILIAN I[/B][/URL] Here's a Madonnenthaler minted in Munich during 1694 under Elector Maximilian II's leadership: [Coin Archives photo] [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=925489&AucID=683&Lot=1317&Val=3137ee4adfe2825a6de56a6f9fabb228"][B]BAVARIA (BATERN) 1694 SILVER Thaler - ELECTOR MAXIMILIAN II[/B][/URL] Now we can continue looking at more of Bavaria's Thaler coinage with this 1763 Thaler featuring Elector Maxinilian III Joseph on its obverse.
