Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features an image of Charles Albert, who was the Prince-Elector of Bavaria from 1726 until his death in 1745. He played a significant role in European politics during his lifetime, particularly during the War of the Austrian Succession, and his image on the coin serves as a reminder of his impact on the region's history.
