Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features an image of Charles Theodor, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, on one side, and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1790, during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, and it serves as a tangible reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
