Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Charles Albert (Vikariat) 1740 from Electorate of Bavaria (German States) coin is that it features an image of Charles Albert, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1726 to 1745, on one side, and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, and it is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from that era.
