Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it features an image of Albert V, the ruler of Bavaria from 1550 to 1579, on one side, and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Bavaria, and its design reflects the Renaissance style that was popular during that period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the copper coins that were previously used, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable materials in coinage.
