Germany. Maximilian I (1597-1651), from 1623 Elector. 8 Ducats 1598, Munich mint. Dies by Kaspar Lechner. Wittelsbach 775; KM MB 135; Fried. 187. AV. 28.63 g. 39 mm. With an antique gold mount, inscribed “ROSA GASPARI A DIODATO PELOSO 1880”. Minor marks. VF/Good VF. Issued in a very small quantity upon Maximilian's homage as Prince-Elector of Bavaria (a common part of the coronation ceremony). Produced within the early stages of mechanized coin production in central Europe--first conceived in Augsburg around 1550 and the roller press permanently adopted by the Hall mint in 1567--this offering serves as an embodiment of this new, incredible technology, and Maximilian's use of milling techniques to produce the first emissions of his reign was simply ingenious. The Wittelsbach catalog recorded only a single gold example in a royal collection.
