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 an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the French Revolution was taking place and the Holy Roman Empire was coming to an end. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
