Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1727 to 1731. This coin was made of silver and was a standard circulation coin during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Bavarian mint, which was established in 1327 and is still in operation today, making it one of the oldest mints in Europe.
