That is about all I know about this, I see the 1868-1968 so I figure it is a commemorative centennial and the 999 could be the silver content. My wife is a German citizen and she has this silver memorial commemorative type coin. Does anyone know what this is? One side has "FREISTAAT BAYERN * DER MINISTERPRASIDENTENT". {The "A" has an umlaut} and the other side has "PATRONA BARVARIA".
It also has 1868-1968 and 999 on it. I know the translation just need to know about the coin. Any info on it or help to direct me where I can find out anything about it would be very appreciated. It is a really beautiful coin, very detailed, sharp and clean. I wish it showed up better. Thanks, Tony

looks more like a commemorative medallion than money.
I wonder what happened, of note, in Bavaria in 1868 ?

Hmm, in 1868 there were the first elections for the "Zollparlament", the short-lived parliamentary assembly of the Zollverein. Those were in Bavaria too. Other than that I don't know. The piece is also discussed here by the way: https://goccf.com/t/80049
