Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a portrait of Maximilian IV Joseph, who was the King of Bavaria from 1802 to 1803. He was a member of the House of Wittelsbach, a powerful dynasty that ruled Bavaria for over 700 years. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Nepomuk Schaller, who was a prominent medalist and engraver of the time. The coin's silver content and weight of 28 grams also make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
