10 Kreuzers - Maximilian III Joseph Konventionskreuzer

Maximilian III Joseph inherited a Bavaria devastated by the War of Austrian Succession, and his monetary reforms of the early 1750s — anchored to the Konventionsfuss treaty standard shared with Austria — were a direct attempt to stabilize exchange across the fractured southern German states. The Konventionstaler system, agreed in 1753, set the 20-gulden foot and brought a measure of cross-border coherence that earlier Bavarian coinage had conspicuously lacked.

Hahn 324 is well-documented as a type produced across multiple dies over the fourteen-year span, with minor legend punctuation variants known to specialists. Maximilian died in 1777 without an heir, extinguishing the Wittelsbach electoral line and triggering the War of the Bavarian Succession almost immediately.
