Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph, who was a member of the Wittelsbach dynasty and ruled Bavaria from 1763 to 1767. Despite being a relatively small coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of Maximilian III Joseph on one side and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other, making it a unique and collectible piece of numismatic history.
