The almost insanely abbreviated obverse legend on this coin is an example of how abbreviations were taken to extremes on 18th century German coinages; this is what it means: Maximilianus Emanuel utriusque Bavariae & Palatinus Superioris Dux, Comes Palatinus Rheni, Sacri Romani Imperii Archidapifer & Elector, Langravius Leuchtenbergensis. The word archidapfer means 'ErzTruchses' or Highsteward and was a hereditary office born by one of the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire.
