Interesting commemorative issue in beautiful condition. The Obv. depicts a dragon above the Bavarian harlequin print. The Rev. depicts a lion looking back standing right holding a rectangular shield with letters BV in oval. The meaning of these letters BV is still a mystery to the seller, if you know it, please contact. The roots of dragon in the coat of arms lay in the description of total solar eclipse by ancient Egyptians. They believed that during the eclipse Re was swallowed by Apep (=dragon). With time passed this description via many transformations ended in the coat of arms of Eggenfelden. See the research Journal of Astrophysics & Aerospace Technology, 2014, 2: 107 hilarispublisher.com/open-access/solar-eclipses-in-the-outlook-of-the-slavs-2329-6542.1000107.pdf for details.
