"Bavaria syndrome"

On behalf of Numista, I would like to propose a new numismatic phrase: Bavaria syndrome. Bavaria syndrome is when a country has a commemorative program and one year there is nothing to commemorate. So instead, they have to find an event to feature on a coin.

For lazy folks like me, could you link the coin that inspired this phrase?

Just an example, there are many coins like it!:

Yeah, that is a stretch. I was surprised to see the date on that coin- I was expecting some modern commemorative junk.

This is the forerunner of all the modern commemorative junk!

Not quite. Bavaria syndrome refers to a set commemorative series.

How about Liberia 5 Dollars Series?

Kind of.

I come to think about this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12187.html
Yes, let's celebrate the 72:nd anniversary of the cabinet secretariat. It's a truly joyful thing to celebrate and we missed the half century celebration and couldn't wait for three quarters century.  

Otherwise India seems to suffer from the Bavaria syndrome. There are more commemorative types than "normal" types it seems.

Actually, I think multiples of 12 hold specific importance in Thai culture.

You can find other Thai commemorative coins celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, etc., all with the numbers 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84... I think it is something to do with "cycles".

Aha, that explains it!

No it isn't!
I saw what looked like an ancient roman coin on the coin at random.
It said commemorative on the identifying name thingy.
