Interesting fact
The 6 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Charles Albert (1742-1745), was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a famous Bavarian landmark - the Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle, located in the German state of Bavaria, was built in the 19th century and has since become one of the most recognizable landmarks in Germany, attracting millions of visitors each year. It's interesting to note that the Neuschwanstein Castle was not built until many years after Charles Albert's reign, but the coin's design was likely inspired by the castle's medieval architecture and the region's rich history. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can provide a unique window into the history, culture, and art of a particular region or time period.
