Germany's mineral assets were obtained either from the mountains or from gold panning along the rivers. While the mining of gold by means of excavation was strictly regulated, apparently anyone, for a small fee, could obtain a license to do panning or gold washing. These permits generally stipulated that the gold recovered would be delivered to the issuing authorities or mint, where it would be purchased at a set price. Sometimes the gold recovered in this manner would be struck up into coins -- usually ducats. From this practice, King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria was able to issue a small number of gold coins in 1821, similar to the above ducat, denoting on the coins' reverses that the gold originated from the Danube, Inn, Isar and Rhein rivers. The total mintage for that issue was about 1,100 pieces.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.

Maximilian was known as "the Great" but true greatness eluded him. The Thirty Years War devastated his duchy, and he was constantly forced to make alliances with those he detested to save Bavaria. He appears in this coin before the Madonna, perhaps asking for guidance.

Maximilain was an able ruler who won many great battles, but lost one that badly hurt him, the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. By siding with the French against the empire, he was banished from the Munich court and this lost his influence and prestige. His plan to supplant the Habsburgs with the Wittelsbachs failed.

Luneburg, just 50 miles from Hamburg, was a very important German city and Hanseatic trading center. Its power was limited, because it was one of the main centers of the duchy of Brunswick, and the dukes exerted much influence. Its coins are often crude, so this example should be truly appreciated.

The Peace of Ryswick was signed as an end to the war of the grand alliance. Essentially, the nations of England, Netherlands, Spain, and The Holy Roman Empire united to oppose the expansionsit aims of France and Louis XIV. In actuality, the war and the peace treaty accomplished little, yet at the time, was thought of as a great event. Notice that the war was not fought on religious graounds, as two of the Catholic countries opposed Catholic France. The times, they are a changing.
