Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1754 during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also part of a larger series of coins minted during Maximilian's reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the German States. This coin's design features the coat of arms of Bavaria on one side and the value and year of minting on the other. It is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
