| Additional information |
The Neujahrsgoldgulden — New Year's gold gulden — was a Bavarian court tradition with roots stretching back centuries, struck not for commerce but for presentation as gifts from the reigning monarch. By 1864, Bavaria was ruled by Maximilian II, though these pieces were issued under the nominal series designation honoring Louis II, who would ascend the throne that same year following his father's sudden death in March. The Munich mint produced these in strictly limited numbers, intended for distribution among court officials and favored recipients rather than any circulation channel.
Schlumberger 946.1 distinguishes this from closely related die states in the series.
