Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features an image of Charles Theodore, who was the ruler of the region at the time, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Bavaria. This coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern nation-states.
