Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian II Emanuel, who was a member of the Wittelsbach dynasty and ruled Bavaria from 1679 to 1726. During his reign, he sought to modernize and strengthen the Bavarian economy, and the minting of this coin was likely part of those efforts. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between the ruler and the state.
