Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1827, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the German States. Despite being made of billon, a copper-silver alloy, the coin was still considered a valuable form of currency during this time. Additionally, the coin features an image of King Louis I on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
