Additional information

Ludwig II died in 1886 under circumstances that remain genuinely unresolved — found drowned in Lake Starnberg alongside his newly appointed psychiatrist, hours after being declared legally insane and stripped of power. The Bavarian treasury was nearly bankrupted by his obsessive castle-building program, which is precisely why his image now appears on a gold coin issued by a Pacific archipelago with no historical connection to Bavaria whatsoever. These sub-half-gram collector pieces proliferated sharply after the micro-gold format found a market among European themed-series buyers in the 2010s.
