From the Trausnitz Collection, acquired before 2010.

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.
