Interesting fact

The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted between 1623 and 1627 during the reign of Maximilian I, is interesting because it was one of the smallest silver coins minted during that time period, with a weight of only 0.5 grams. Despite its small size, it was still widely used as a means of exchange and played an important role in the economy of the German States.
