| Additional information |
Patterns for Ludwig III's coinage were struck in 1913, the year he assumed the Bavarian throne following the forced abdication of his mentally incapacitated father Ludwig II's successor, Otto I. The Schaaf 202a/G1 designation places this among a small group of silver-plated copper trials produced for official review — not intended for circulation and almost certainly struck in very limited numbers at the Munich mint. Whether this specific piece represents an approved or rejected submission is a question the Schaaf catalog leaves open.
