Comment
Minted for usage in the Pfalz regionInteresting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1802 during the reign of Maximilian IV Joseph, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a bee on the reverse side. This symbol was included to represent the industrious nature of the Bavarian people and to highlight the importance of hard work and diligence in the region's culture.
