Ref. H#336; JB-2376. Prev. KM#294.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodore, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1777 until his death in 1799. During his reign, Charles Theodore implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the Bavarian economy and government, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 1 Kreuzer coin was part of this new system and was designed to be a more efficient and practical coin for everyday transactions. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of 18th century Europe.
