Comment
Previously listed as KM#392Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis I, who ruled Bavaria from 1825 to 1848. During this time, there was a growing movement for German unification, and the coin's design reflects this, featuring an image of the king on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. Despite the political turmoil of the time, the coin remained in circulation until the end of the German States period in 1871, when it was replaced by the German Empire's currency.
