Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was a member of the House of Wittelsbach and ruled Bavaria from 1627 to 1651. Despite being a relatively small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. This fact highlights the economic and political significance of Bavaria during the 17th century, as well as the importance of silver in the region's economy.
