Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Charles Theodore (Schulpreis) 1782 coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Theodore, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1742 until his death in 1799. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to promote education and literacy in Bavaria, and the obverse of the coin features an image of Charles Theodore himself, along with the inscription "Schulpreis" which means "school prize" in German. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a coin that was minted with the intention of promoting education and literacy in the 18th century.
