Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it features an image of Albert V, the ruler of Bavaria from 1560 to 1565, on one side, and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Bavaria, and its design reflects the Renaissance style that was popular during that period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition gives it a unique historical and numismatic value.
