The silver Koventionstalers in the foreground of this still life were the standard coin of the Austrian Empire in the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, the most famous example, the Maria Theresa Taler, is still minted today. The portrait of Maximilian Joseph, 1st King of Bavaria, visible on the propped-up coin at lower left assists in dating this painting to the early nineteenth century, as he ascended the throne in 1806.
