Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Charles Theodor (1778-1795), was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bavarian Army. The coin features an image of Charles Theodor on one side and an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a nod to the traditional use of silver in Bavarian coinage, and the weight of 28.02 grams was a standard weight for coins of this denomination at the time.
