The ½ Carolin coin from the Electorate of Bavaria (German States) is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1726 to 1745. During his reign, Charles Albert introduced a number of reforms, including the creation of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin was made of gold (.770) and weighed 4.85 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
