Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Maximilian III Joseph (Konventionskreuzer) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in the Electorate of Bavaria, which was a state within the Holy Roman Empire. During this time, the Empire was facing challenges from the rise of modern nation-states and the decline of feudalism. The coin's minting was a way for the Electorate of Bavaria to assert its independence and show its allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
