Maximiliaan II Emanuel, keurvorst van Beieren, ingehuldigd als graaf van Namen 1712

This silver medal, created in 1712 by G. Backer, commemorates the inauguration of Maximiliaan II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, as Count of Namur. The obverse features a portrait of the elector in profile, while the reverse is inscribed with a Latin inscription celebrating his rule. This small, yet historically significant, medal exemplifies the use of numismatics as a form of commemorative art.
