Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph (1745-1765), is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for low-denomination coins at the time. This decision to use silver was likely made to increase the coin's durability and resistance to wear and tear, as well as to convey the wealth and prestige of the Electorate of Bavaria.
