Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Charles Theodore (Unbound Hair) 1790-1793 coin from Electorate of Bavaria (German States) is that it features a unique design element - the portrait of Charles Theodore, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, with unbound hair. This was a departure from the traditional depiction of rulers with bound hair, and it was seen as a symbol of the Enlightenment and the emphasis on reason and individual liberty.
