Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 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 centralize power and modernize the state, which led to the introduction of a new coinage system in 1720. The 30 Kreuzers coin was part of this new system and was minted in silver, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
