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 Maximilian II Emanuel, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1695 to 1703. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, and the German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the 1 Kreuzer coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
