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 turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the economy and currency of many German states, including Bavaria, and led to the introduction of new coinage systems and denominations, such as the Kreuzer. Despite the challenges of this period, the 1 Kreuzer coin remained a stable and widely used denomination in Bavaria and other German states for many years.
