Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian I (1623-1654), was made of silver and weighed 0.8 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin was an important part of the currency system in Bavaria during that time, and its design featured the coat of arms of the Electorate, which included the symbol of the Wittelsbach family, who ruled Bavaria for over 700 years.
