Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1740 during the reign of Charles Albert, is that it features an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, a double-headed eagle, surrounded by two lions. This design was used on many coins minted during this period and is a distinctive feature of Bavarian coins from this time.
