Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Prince-Elector of Bavaria from 1726 to 1737. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.57 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the German States during the 18th century.
