1 Thaler - Maximilian I

Maximilian I had only secured the electoral dignity in 1623 — a reward from Ferdinand II for his crucial military support at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, which effectively broke the back of the Bohemian revolt. These thalers were struck at precisely the moment when Bavaria's political elevation was still fresh and contested, with dispossessed Palatine Wittelsbachs refusing to accept the transfer of the electorate to their Bavarian cousins.

The Bavarian mint at Munich was producing heavily during 1626–1627 to fund ongoing Thirty Years' War commitments. Hahn 110 is known with minor die variations in the ornamentation, worth examining closely on well-preserved examples.
