Luitpold's reign

Luitpold Coinage

The coinage of Regent Luitpold German States Bavaria from 1821-1912 followed the traditional Bavarian coinage practice. The first coins minted in Luitpold's name were issued in 1821. These were silver coins with a face value of 1 and 2 krajcár. In the following years, more and more denominations and coins made of metal were minted. In 1832, silver coins with a nominal value of 10 and 20 krajcár and copper coins with a nominal value of 1 and 2 pfennig were introduced. In 1848, as a result of the revolution, the liberal monetary system was also introduced in Bavaria. According to this, the pfennig replaced the krajczar, and in the coinage they switched to the German coinage system. During the reign of Regent Luitpold, the following denominations of money were minted in Bavaria: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 pfennigs, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 krajcár, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 forints. During the reign of Luitpold, the coinage of Bavaria developed significantly. Modern machines began to be used in the mints, and the quality of the coins improved. The most frequently minted nominal value coin was the 10 pfennig. Among the coins bearing the regent's name, the 1,000 forint gold coins are the most valuable. During the reign of Regent Luitpold, the Bavarian mint played an important role in the development of the German monetary system.
