Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1745 until his death in 1777. The coin features an image of the Elector on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806 and Bavaria became an independent kingdom. This coin is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Bavaria during that time period.
