| Beschrijving keerzijde | Detailed architectural rendering of the Walhalla memorial near Regensburg, Bavaria, depicted in strict frontal elevation with its Doric colonnade, pediment with sculptural frieze, and the monumental terraced stairway descending toward the viewer. The temple, designed by Leo von Klenze and inaugurated in 1842, rests atop a massive rusticated podium with multiple stepped terraces, a central propylon gateway visible at the base of the approach. The legend WALHALLA is inscribed in spaced capital letters along the upper arc, and the date 1842 appears in the lower exergual area. The overall composition is executed in fine engraving with precise architectural detail, contained within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Walhalla memorial near Regensburg was inaugurated by Ludwig I on 18 October 1842 — the anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig — and this double thaler was struck the same year to mark the occasion. Ludwig had personally driven the project for decades, commissioning Leo von Klenze to design the Greek Revival hall and funding much of it from his own civil list. The dual denomination — valid as both 2 Thalers in northern German states and 3½ Gulden in southern ones — reflects the awkward monetary patchwork of the German Confederation before unification forced standardization.
