Interesting fact

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 1790, during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, and it represents a significant moment in the history of Bavaria and its monetary system.
