Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Prince-Elector of Bavaria from 1726 to 1745. During his reign, Charles Albert implemented various reforms and modernizations in Bavaria, including the introduction of a new coinage system that replaced the old system of denominations based on the Kreuzer. The 6 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.
