Comment
Previously KM#268Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfenning 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 Charles Theodor, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1782 to 1799. During his reign, Charles Theodor implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the Bavarian economy and government, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 1 Pfenning coin was part of this new system and was designed to be a more efficient and practical coin for everyday transactions. Despite the changes, the coin still maintained the traditional design elements of the previous coinage, such as the depiction of the ruler and the coat of arms of Bavaria. This blend of old and new design elements makes the 1 Pfenning coin an interesting example of the transition from traditional to modern currency.
