Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian II Emanuel, who was a member of the Wittelsbach dynasty and ruled Bavaria from 1679 to 1724. During his reign, he sought to modernize and strengthen the Bavarian economy, and the minting of this coin was part of that effort. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.65 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, the coin was an important part of everyday commerce in Bavaria during the early 18th century.
