Beschrijving keerzijde Allegorical coronation scene in high neoclassical relief: Prince Otto of Bavaria, draped in a toga and standing to the right, receives an open royal crown from a robed female figure representing Greece, who stands facing left resting her right hand on a large shield. A couchant lion occupies the lower left field as the Bavarian heraldic emblem. The circular legend OTTO PRINZ V. BAYERN GRIECHENLANDS ERSTER KOENIG runs along the upper rim, and the date 1832 appears in the lower exergue. The composition commemorates Otto's election as the first King of Greece.

Aanvullende informatie

This pattern was struck to commemorate Otto I's elevation to the Greek throne following the 1832 London Conference, where Britain, France, and Russia effectively assigned the seventeen-year-old Bavarian prince to rule a newly independent Greece. The Geschichtstaler format — a commemorative convention thaler used to mark dynastic events — was a common vehicle for Bavarian political messaging, but gold patterns at this weight represent presentation-grade strikings made for court distribution rather than circulation.

Bavaria's Louis I used such pieces aggressively as diplomatic gifts. At 48.38g in .900 gold, this sits well above any standard coinage weight and was almost certainly produced in very small numbers for a specific occasion surrounding Otto's departure for Nauplia in early 1833.
