Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Charles Albert (Vicariat) 1740 from Electorate of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of the Elector Charles Albert, who later became the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of Bavaria. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Enlightenment and the rise of absolutism. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as it was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time, and its use in coinage was seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
