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 in 1792, during a time of great political and social change in Europe, and it is a unique piece of history that has survived to this day.
