Interesting fact
The 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted between 1791 and 1799, features an image of Charles Theodor, the ruler of Bavaria at the time. However, the coin was not minted in Bavaria but rather in the city of Augsburg, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire. This is indicated by the mint mark "A" on the coin. This fact highlights the complex political and monetary systems that existed in Europe during that time period.
