Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1747 during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a new technology called "milled" or "reeded" edges. This technology involved grooving the edges of the coin with a special tool to create a textured, ribbed effect. This innovation made it more difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins, as it was harder to replicate the milled edges. This coin's unique design feature has made it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
