Comment
Previously KM# 306Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfenning coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian IV Joseph, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1799 to 1805. This was a period of significant political and social upheaval, as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars were taking place, leading to the reorganization of Europe and the rise of new nation-states. Despite these challenges, the 1 Pfenning coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency for the people of Bavaria, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
