Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian II Emanuel (1691-1692), was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins in Europe to feature a depiction of a mythical creature - the Griffin. The Griffin was a symbol of protection and strength, and it was believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits. This unique feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
