One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features an image of Charles Theodor, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, on one side, and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1781 and was made of silver with a purity of .833, which means it contains 83.3% silver and 16.7% other metals. It weighs 28.06 grams and is considered a standard circulation coin of its time.
