Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features an image of Charles Albert, who was the Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire at the time of its minting in 1740. This coin was issued during a period of political and economic turmoil in Europe, and its design reflects the influence of the Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
